Product Description

The Hawk HB712Z.680 brings Hawk's Performance Ceramic compound to the front axle of the 2013-2018 Focus ST, prioritizing everyday comfort and cleanliness over outright track performance. Its ultra-low dust, low-noise formulation reduces brake NVH significantly compared to more aggressive pads, giving ST owners a noticeably quieter, cleaner-running brake system without giving up meaningful stopping power.

The linear friction profile helps the factory ABS system operate more effectively, while the rotor-friendly compound extends the service life of both the pads and rotors over time. This is the pad of choice for Focus ST owners who prioritize refined daily-driving manners, minimal wheel dust, and reduced maintenance over the raw bite of a race-oriented compound - a genuine upgrade path favored on many OEM Brembo-equipped performance cars for exactly these reasons.
