Hawk Performance Ceramic brake pads were developed for those enthusiasts who want to improve stopping power without the annoying side effects sometimes associated with more aggressive pads. Hawk Performance Ceramic pads are engineered with a linear friction profile for maximum performance while reducing NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) for a smoother ride and ultra-low brake dust accumulation. In addition, you can expect Hawk ceramic brake pads to provide increased pad and rotor life and a more responsive ABS braking system. Hawk Performance Ceramic pads are intended for street use only.
