Overview:
The Hawk Performance LTS Street Brake Pads are engineered to deliver enhanced stopping power for light trucks and SUVs, specifically designed for a range of Dodge vehicles from 1998 to 2008. These brake pads utilize Hawk’s High Performance Street (HPS) compound, which significantly improves braking performance over standard OEM pads. Ideal for drivers seeking reliable, street-legal braking upgrades, these pads offer increased friction, superior fade resistance, and consistent pedal feel under demanding conditions.
Whether you drive a Dodge Ram 1500 or a Durango, these pads provide a noticeable improvement in braking response and durability, making them an excellent choice for daily driving, towing, and light hauling applications.
Key Features:
Hawk Performance LTS Street Brake Pads combine advanced materials and design to enhance your vehicle’s braking system. Key features include:
- High Performance Street (HPS) compound offering 20–40% more stopping power than stock pads
- Excellent pad and rotor life for extended service intervals
- Superior fade resistance for consistent braking during repeated stops
- Virtually noise-free operation for a quiet driving experience
- Reduced brake dust generation to keep wheels cleaner
- 0.650 inch pad thickness optimized for light trucks and SUVs
- Precision fitment for a wide range of Dodge B1500, Durango, Ram 1500, Ram 2500, and Ram 3500 models

Construction & Design:
The LTS Street Brake Pads feature a proprietary friction compound developed by Hawk Performance to balance aggressive stopping power with long-lasting durability. The compound is formulated to withstand the higher demands of light trucks and SUVs, including heavier loads and towing. The pads are manufactured with consistent thickness and quality control to ensure a precise fit and optimal contact with the rotor surface, minimizing uneven wear and maximizing braking efficiency.
Backing plates are designed to resist corrosion and provide a stable platform for the friction material, contributing to the pad’s noise-free operation and reliable performance over time.
Performance & Sound
These brake pads deliver enhanced braking performance with a higher coefficient of friction compared to OEM replacements, resulting in shorter stopping distances and improved safety. The superior fade resistance ensures that braking power remains consistent even during extended or repeated stops, such as in city traffic or downhill driving. Additionally, the pads are engineered to operate quietly, eliminating the common squeal associated with many aftermarket brake pads.
Installation & Fitment:
Hawk Performance LTS Street Brake Pads are designed for direct bolt-on installation with no modifications required. They fit precisely on the front and rear disc brakes of the specified Dodge models, including B1500 (1998), Durango (2003–2006), Ram 1500 (2000–2008), Ram 1500 Van (1999–2003), Ram 2500 (2001–2008), and Ram 3500 (2001–2008). Installation can be completed using standard brake tools and procedures, making them suitable for professional mechanics and experienced DIY enthusiasts alike.
