2011–2025 Subaru Forester / Subaru Impreza / Subaru WRX 2.0L Turbo

Part #: HB126F.505

Overview

Upgrade your vehicle's braking system with Hawk Performance's HPS Street Brake Pads, designed specifically for street-legal vehicles seeking enhanced stopping power and reliability. Whether you're a daily driver, spirited enthusiast, or someone who demands consistent braking performance, these brake pads deliver improved pedal feel and increased resistance to brake fade. Crafted for those who want a confident, responsive braking experience, the HPS Street pads are an excellent choice for upgrading stock brake components.

Hawk's High Performance Street (HPS) compound is engineered to provide a significant boost in braking capability over factory pads. You'll notice shorter stopping distances, especially during repeated or aggressive braking, thanks to the higher coefficient of friction. These pads are ideal for drivers who frequently encounter stop-and-go traffic, mountain driving, or spirited canyon runs, offering a balance of performance, durability, and low dust production.

Key Features

The Hawk HPS Street Brake Pads are built with advanced materials and innovative design features to optimize your vehicle's braking system. Here are some of the key benefits:

• High Friction Compound: The HPS formulation provides 20-40% more stopping power compared to standard OEM brake pads, ensuring confident braking in everyday driving conditions.
• Enhanced Resistance to Brake Fade: Designed to maintain consistent performance during repeated or prolonged braking, reducing fade and ensuring safety on demanding drives.
• Low Dust Production: Engineered to produce less brake dust, helping keep wheels cleaner and reducing maintenance time.
• Durable and Long-Lasting: The high-quality ceramic-based compound offers excellent wear characteristics, extending the lifespan of your brake pads.
• Quiet Operation: Formulated to minimize noise and squeal, providing a smooth and comfortable braking experience.
• Street-Performance Balance: Optimized for street use, these pads deliver excellent braking response without the harshness or noise associated with track-only compounds.

Construction & Design

The Hawk HPS Street Brake Pads feature a precision-engineered ceramic-based compound mounted on a durable backing plate. The pads are designed with a chamfered and slotted surface to promote even wear and reduce noise. The backing plates are made from high-strength steel, ensuring structural integrity under demanding conditions. The pads are compatible with most stock calipers and are designed for easy installation, making them a straightforward upgrade for your existing braking system.

Installation & Fitment

The Hawk HPS Street Brake Pads are designed as direct replacements for your vehicle's stock pads. Installation is straightforward and typically requires only basic hand tools. No special modifications, cutting, or tuning are necessary. For optimal performance, it is recommended to replace brake pads in pairs and inspect your rotors for wear or damage during installation.
