Product Description

The Hawk HB543B.760 HPS 5.0 brake pads are engineered for street-driven VW and Audi vehicles from 2005 to 2019, including a wide range of engine sizes from 1.4L I4 to 3.6L VR6. Utilizing a ferro-carbon compound, these front pads deliver roughly 20-40% more stopping power with aggressive torque while maintaining smooth ABS modulation without premature ABS ICE mode activation.

Designed for drivers seeking enhanced braking performance over OEM, HPS 5.0 pads operate across a wide temperature span (100-750 °F), with ideal performance between 100-550 °F. They are quiet, low-dust, and gentle on rotors while delivering confident braking under heavier loads - perfect for spirited highway driving and daily commuting.

Installation is straightforward - direct bolt-on using OEM calipers. Replace the full front axle with the included set of four pads, bed them in per Hawk's procedure, and enjoy a more responsive pedal feel and better braking consistency. These pads are street legal in all 50 states and backed by a limited lifetime warranty, making them a smart, high-performance upgrade for VW/Audi owners.
