Product Description

The Hawk HPS 5.0 HB533B.668 front pads bring street-enhanced braking to Subaru AWD models - balancing aggressive stopping power with smooth, precise pedal feel. The Ferro-Carbon compound is tuned for aggressive torque and quick engagement, reducing your stopping distance while still maintaining comfort and low noise on daily drives. With fade resistance up to 750 °F, they're strong for occasional track use too.

Designed for front calipers on a wide range of Subarus (Legacy, Tribeca, Forester, WRX 2005-2021), these pads exclude WRX models equipped with performance package Brembos. Drop-in installation works with OEM steel or iron calipers. Expect better bite and pedal response - with a minority of extra dust. Bedding per Hawk's instructions is recommended. Fitment confirmed through 2021; 2025 coverage remains unconfirmed at this time.
