Fitment Notes

• Rear axle application only - OEM caliper, 0.568 in. pad thickness shared across a broad family of Ford C1/C2-platform vehicles.
• The Ford Focus RS, Focus ST, and base Focus all share the same rear caliper - this pad fits all Focus 3rd-gen (2012-2018) rear configurations regardless of trim or engine.
• Not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors; designed for iron/metal rotors only.
• HPS 5.0 can withstand light track use but is not a sustained race compound and cannot handle prolonged high-temperature track sessions.
• No electronic wear sensor or hardware included.

Features

• HPS 5.0 Ferro-Carbon compound delivers the maximum stopping power available in a street-friendly rear pad - improved fade resistance and higher brake torque than standard HPS for the rear axle of these Ford platforms.
• Increased brake torque and operating temperature range compared to standard HPS - meaningful improvement in fade resistance during spirited driving or light track use.
• Smooth, progressive rear pedal feel compatible with ABS and stability management systems across all listed Ford vehicles.
• Cleaner than most OEM pads with moderate dust output - lower dust than HP Plus while delivering more rear braking performance than standard HPS.
• Gentle on rear rotors with extended pad and rotor service life.
• Backed by Hawk's limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.

Product Description

The Hawk HB896B.568 HPS 5.0 rear brake pads fit the OEM rear caliper across a broad family of Ford vehicles sharing the same 0.568 in. rear pad interface - including the 2016-2018 Focus RS and Focus ST, the full 2012-2018 Focus 3rd-gen lineup, 2013-2016 Escape, 2013-2018 C-Max Hybrid and Energi, 2014-2023 Transit Connect, and 2018-2022 EcoSport. The pad shape is common across all Focus trims from base to RS, so this is a single upgrade solution for the entire Focus generation's rear axle regardless of which model is in the garage.

For Focus RS and ST owners who take their cars to autocross or occasional track days, the HPS 5.0's higher friction output and improved fade resistance over standard HPS delivers noticeably better rear bite under sustained hard braking. For everyday Focus, Escape, and C-Max owners, it's a clean, quiet premium upgrade over OEM replacement pads that brings more stopping confidence to daily driving without sacrificing comfort. A proper bed-in procedure is recommended after installation.
