Construction & Design

These brake pads utilize Hawk’s proprietary Performance Ceramic compound, which blends ceramic materials with specialized friction modifiers to achieve an optimal balance of performance and comfort. The formulation is designed to reduce brake dust significantly compared to traditional semi-metallic pads, helping maintain wheel appearance and reducing maintenance. The pads’ backing plates and bonding agents are engineered to withstand high temperatures and resist wear, ensuring consistent performance over time.

The rotor-friendly design minimizes the risk of scoring or glazing, preserving rotor integrity and reducing replacement costs. This careful engineering results in a brake pad that performs reliably across a wide range of driving styles and conditions.

Performance & Sound

Hawk Ceramic pads are specifically formulated to reduce noise and vibration, delivering a quieter braking experience without sacrificing stopping power. The low NVH characteristics make them an excellent choice for drivers who want performance without the typical squeal or harshness associated with some high-performance pads. The linear friction profile also improves ABS system efficiency, providing smooth modulation and enhanced safety during emergency braking.

Installation & Fitment

These front brake pads are designed as direct replacements for factory pads on compatible Dodge and Chrysler models from 2005 to 2024, including the Magnum, 300, Charger, and Challenger with V6 and 5.7L Hemi engines. Installation requires no modifications and can be completed using standard brake service procedures. Proper bedding-in is recommended to form an optimal transfer film on the rotors, maximizing braking efficiency and pad longevity.
