Take your street performance to the next level.
Hawk Performance HPS (High Performance Street) brake pads are the go-to choice for VW Mk5/Mk6 drivers seeking serious stopping power without harsh compromises. Whether you're commuting, canyon carving, or hitting back roads, these pads deliver confident brake feel and fade resistance that outclass OEM units.
Built with Hawk’s proprietary Ferro-Carbon compound, HPS pads offer up to 40% more stopping power than stock, while maintaining low dust output, quiet operation, and rotor-friendly behavior. You’ll get improved pedal feel, consistent braking in spirited conditions, and none of the annoying squeal or wear issues that plague low-grade “performance” pads.
Ideal for:
- Daily drivers wanting a firmer pedal and sharper response
- Enthusiasts who enjoy occasional spirited driving
- Owners upgrading tires or suspension and needing matched brake performance
Not for the track. For full-on abuse, check out Hawk’s HP+ or DTC compounds. But for all-around road warriors, HB788F.745 HPS pads are the perfect “OEM++” upgrade.
