Product Description

The Hawk HB538B.760 HPS 5.0 Front Brake Pad set delivers aggressive street braking upgrades for a variety of Audi and VW models from 2004-2011. Featuring Hawk's advanced HPS 5.0 ferro-carbon compound, it offers exceptional stopping power while maintaining ABS stability and pedal modulation. With fade resistance up to 750 °F, these pads stay consistent during spirited driving and avoid triggering ABS "ice mode" in cold stops.

Designed for direct OEM fitment, they slide into front calipers without modifications and include shims to eliminate noise. The low-dust, rotor-friendly formulation ensures clean wheels and longer rotor life. These brake pads are street-legal, backed by Hawk's limited lifetime warranty, and made in the USA under ISO standards.

Please note: These pads are not compatible with carbon-ceramic rotors - use only with traditional iron or steel discs. Follow Hawk's recommended bedding process and replace axle pads together for optimal performance.
