Fitment Notes

• Does NOT fit Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S models equipped with the Ceramic Composite Brake system (AMG option code B07). Those vehicles require a pad compatible with ceramic rotors - Hawk Performance pads are for iron/steel rotors only.
• This pad is position-specific: Rear axle only. Front axle applications require a separate Hawk part number.
• Pad thickness is 0.654 in (16.61mm). Verify your existing rear pad thickness before ordering to confirm compatibility.
• Compatible with iron/steel rotors only. Not compatible with ceramic composite rotors.
• AMG GT 43 and AMG GT 53 fitment covers the X290-platform 4-Door Coupe only. OEM-style clips are included with this pad for applicable AMG GT fitments.
• E400 fitment covers the W213-generation (2017-2018) only, available in Sedan, Coupe, Convertible, and Wagon body styles with the 3.0L V6 Turbo engine.
• The E53, CLS53, AMG GT 43, and AMG GT 53 use Mercedes-AMG's M256 3.0L inline-six with an integrated EQ Boost 48V mild-hybrid electric motor - this pad is compatible with the standard iron rear disc brake system on these models.

Features

• Hawk HPS 5.0 (B-compound) ferro-carbon formulation - the maximum-performance street compound in Hawk's lineup, engineered to deliver the greatest stopping power and pedal feel without compromising ABS function on the sophisticated electronic brake management systems fitted to modern Mercedes-Benz platforms.
• Aggressive torque output provides meaningfully shorter stopping distances compared to OEM Mercedes brake pads, with high-deceleration braking capability across the full rear axle operating temperature range.
• Designed to deliver high deceleration rates from cold while maintaining smooth, predictable control and consistent brake release characteristics - critical for the complex AWD and rear-biased braking balance on AMG and AMG-line models.
• Excellent pad and rotor wear life - designed to extend rear brake service intervals relative to OEM pads while outperforming them in stopping power and fade resistance, reducing the overall cost of brake maintenance on premium European platforms.
• Operating temperature range of 100-750°F with optimal range of 100-500°F - fully effective from cold street starts through sustained spirited driving, making the HPS 5.0 genuinely usable as an everyday pad upgrade without the adverse characteristics of race compounds.
• Low noise and controlled dust output compared to more aggressive ferro-carbon or motorsport compounds - maintains the refined driving character expected of Mercedes-Benz and AMG vehicles while delivering a measurable braking performance advantage over stock.
• Compatible with the OEM rear caliper on all listed W213 E-Class, C257 CLS, and X290 AMG GT 4-Door platforms - no bracket modifications or caliper upgrades required for direct fitment.
• Manufactured by Hawk Performance, a recognized leader in high-performance and motorsport friction products, backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

Product Description

The Hawk Performance HB911B.654 HPS 5.0 rear brake pad is a maximum-performance street upgrade engineered for the rear axle of Mercedes-Benz W213 E-Class, C257 CLS, and X290 AMG GT 4-Door Coupe platforms - covering the E400, E43 AMG, E53 AMG, E63 AMG S (non-ceramic), E450, CLS450, CLS53 AMG, AMG GT 43, and AMG GT 53 spanning model years 2017 through 2024. Using Hawk's HPS 5.0 ferro-carbon compound - the most aggressive street-legal formulation in Hawk's lineup - this pad targets owners of high-performance Mercedes-AMG and AMG-adjacent models who want a genuine improvement in rear brake torque and deceleration rate over the factory OEM pads, without the noise, cold-bite issues, and dust levels associated with full motorsport compounds.

The HPS 5.0 compound is specifically tuned to deliver high deceleration rates while maintaining the smooth, predictable pedal modulation and consistent brake release behavior that these complex AWD and 4Matic+ platforms require to operate their electronic stability and brake management systems effectively. Operating from 100°F to 750°F with an optimal window of 100-500°F, the compound is effective from cold street stops and remains fade-resistant through sustained performance driving - making it equally suitable for daily commuting and spirited weekend runs on AMG models. Compared to the standard HPS compound, HPS 5.0 produces more brake torque and handles higher temperatures, placing it one step closer to the performance spectrum without crossing into track-only territory.

One critical restriction applies: this pad does NOT fit E63 AMG S models equipped with the Mercedes-AMG Ceramic Composite Brake system (option code B07). That system uses ceramic rotors that are incompatible with all Hawk Performance compounds, which are designed exclusively for iron/steel rotors. Buyers should verify their E63 AMG S brake specification before ordering - non-ceramic E63 AMG S variants (identified by the absence of option code B07 and standard iron rotors) are fully compatible. Pad thickness is 0.654 in (16.61mm); always confirm this against your existing rear pads before installation. OEM-style clips are included for AMG GT 43 and AMG GT 53 fitments.
