Product Description

The Hawk HB290F.583 HPS rear brake pads are engineered for the rear axle of the Porsche 911 Carrera (996/997.1), Boxster S (986/987), and Cayman S (987/987.2) - covering a broad range of Porsche's flagship sports cars from 1998 through 2012. Built on the FMSI D738 rear caliper interface and sized at 0.583" for the Boxster S and 911 Carrera rear applications, these pads deliver a meaningful upgrade over factory friction materials using Hawk's proven HPS Ferro-Carbon compound, providing 20-40% more stopping power with improved fade resistance and a smoother, more consistent pedal feel.

For Porsche owners who drive their cars daily, take spirited canyon runs, or attend occasional track days, the HPS compound is the ideal all-around upgrade - strong initial bite from cold, excellent fade resistance for sustained spirited driving, and very low noise and dust for a refined ownership experience. These pads are gentle on rotors, extend rotor service life, and require minimal break-in compared to more aggressive compounds, making them the go-to performance street pad for 996, 997, 986, and 987 owners.
