HAWK HPS Brake Pads Golf MKV

Speed it nothing without control, this doesn't just mean handling but also BRAKING! HAWK performance HPS brake pads will give your VW Golf GTI Mk V just that with increased heat resistance, reduced braking distance, and reduced brake fade! HPS - High Performance Street disc brake pads are world renowned for increasing stopping power on your street legal vehicle. Increasing the performance of your vehicles braking system is easy when you choose Hawk Performance’s HPS braking compound. This unique Ferro-Carbon formula was developed for street performance using the safety and quality of Aerospace and Motorsports severe-duty friction technology.

The High Performance Street compound offers a higher coefficient of friction over stock brake pads and can provide you 20-40% more stopping power and higher resistance to brake fade than most standard replacement pads. Less fade means you’ll have a highly durable brake pad with less brake dust.

Note*
Hawk Performance burnishes its High Performance Street brake pads as a final step in the factory, but all brake pads have to be bedded-in with the rotors (new or used) that they will be used against. Properly bedding-in new brake pads results in a transfer film being generated at the pad and rotor interface to maximize brake performance.

1. Install brake pads properly. Be sure pads are securely positioned in the caliper.
    
2. Flush system with fresh brake fluid.
    
3. Check all hydraulic parts for excess wear and tear.
    
4. Check disc for proper thickness, parallelism, and lateral runout.
    
5. Check disc for scoring or grooves over .012”depth. If either applies, resurfacing is required.
    
6. If discs do not need resurfacing, then contamination from the previous brake pads must be removed. Sand discs with 130 grit sandpaper using moderate pressure. Use soap and water to clean discs’ surface after sanding and machining. Discs should be free and clear of oil, grease, and brake fluid.
    
7. Inspect calipers for freedom of movement. Lubricate where necessary.

1. After installing new brake pads, make 6 to 10 stops from approximately 40mph - 15mph applying moderate pressure.
   DO NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP DURING THIS PROCEDURE!
    
2. Make an additional 3 to 4 hard stops from approximately 60mph to 15 mph applying hard pressure, just shy of engaging ABS or locking up.
   AGAIN DO NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP DURING THIS PROCEDURE!
    
3. DO NOT DRAG BRAKES!
    
4. Allow 15 minutes for brake system to cool down.
    
5. After step 4 your new pads are bedded and ready for use.
