Product Description

Upgrade the stopping power, brake pedal feel, and overall braking performance of your Porsche with the Hawk Performance HPS 5.0 Front Brake Pad Set. Developed for enthusiasts who demand more from their braking system, the HPS 5.0 compound delivers enhanced friction characteristics, consistent braking response, and improved resistance to brake fade while maintaining the comfort and refinement expected from a premium street brake pad.

The HPS 5.0 (High Performance Street 5.0) compound represents an evolution of Hawk Performance's popular HPS brake pad technology. Engineered to provide greater braking torque and improved modulation, these pads are an excellent upgrade for Porsche owners seeking stronger, more responsive braking without transitioning to a dedicated racing compound.

At the heart of the HPS 5.0 is Hawk's advanced Ferro-Carbon friction formulation. This performance-oriented compound is designed to provide high levels of friction across a broad range of operating temperatures, allowing the pads to deliver predictable braking response during both normal street driving and more demanding performance use.

One of the primary benefits of the HPS 5.0 compound is its improved initial bite and pedal response. The pads are designed to generate braking torque with less pedal effort, giving drivers greater confidence during aggressive deceleration while maintaining smooth, progressive control throughout the braking event.

Hawk engineers the HPS 5.0 compound to work effectively with modern vehicle braking systems, including Porsche's factory ABS. The friction characteristics are designed to provide increased stopping performance without compromising the operation of the vehicle's original electronic braking systems.

In addition to improved braking torque, the HPS 5.0 compound offers enhanced resistance to brake fade compared with conventional street brake pads. Hawk lists a working temperature range of approximately 100–750°F, with an optimal operating range of 100–550°F, making the pads suitable for performance-oriented street driving.

Despite their increased friction capability, the HPS 5.0 pads are designed to maintain street-friendly characteristics. The compound offers low noise, reduced brake dust, and favorable rotor wear, making it a practical choice for Porsche owners who want improved braking performance without the compromises commonly associated with aggressive motorsport compounds.

Smooth and predictable brake release is another important feature. Hawk's friction formulation provides consistent modulation as pedal pressure changes, allowing the driver to control braking force more precisely during corner entry, highway driving, and everyday use.

Part number HB719B.668 utilizes the HB719 / FMSI D1389 brake pad profile, with a nominal pad thickness of 0.668 inches (approximately 17mm). This configuration is used on select Porsche front brake calipers across the 997.2 Carrera, 991.1 Carrera, 981 Boxster/Cayman, and 718 Boxster/Cayman platforms.

The pads are designed as a direct replacement for compatible factory front brake pads and can be installed with the original Porsche iron brake rotors and calipers. No aftermarket brake calipers or rotor modifications are required when the correct application is selected.

For Porsche owners who primarily drive on public roads but want a more responsive and confidence-inspiring braking system, the Hawk Performance HPS 5.0 Front Brake Pads provide an excellent balance of stopping performance, everyday comfort, and durability.
