HPS 5.0: Hawk's next-generation high performance street compound

Hawk's HPS 5.0 pad uses Hawk's next-generation High Performance Street compound, delivering 20 to 40 percent more stopping power than stock, with better fade resistance and less brake dust than the original HPS formula. Hawk has spent decades refining these compounds through direct racing feedback, and it shows in how consistently each compound performs within its intended use case rather than trying to be everything to everyone. Whether you're chasing a specific track lap time or just want more confident daily stopping power, matching the right Hawk compound to your actual use case matters more than picking the most aggressive-sounding option. That's the kind of detail that separates genuine engineering from a basic replacement part.

Built for a Clean, Direct Install

As a direct-fit replacement for the factory front pads, this set bolts straight in without any modification, giving you the compound's real-world benefits the same day you install it. Hawk shims and chamfers every pad to help reduce the noise and vibration that a poorly finished aftermarket pad can introduce. It's a straightforward upgrade path that doesn't require touching any other part of the brake system. It's a small distinction that makes a real difference once you're actually driving on it.

Straight From Subispeed

A well-matched front pad choice for 1998-2002 Forester / 2002 WRX / 1997-2002 Legacy if you're specifically looking for what HPS 5.0 delivers.
