Product Description

The Hawk HB970B.665 high performance street brake pads with HPS 5.0 compound are engineered to deliver stronger braking performance over many OEM pads while maintaining excellent pedal feel in everyday driving conditions. Utilizing a Ferro-Carbon friction material, these pads improve brake torque and reduce fade under heavier braking demands, making them well-suited for sporty street cars like the Subaru WRX (2022-2026). The compound provides a broad operating temperature range and enhanced modulation without excessive noise or brittle behavior often found in more aggressive track-only pads.

Designed as a direct front brake pad replacement, this set offers better stopping power and a responsive feel that can transform braking confidence on both daily commutes and spirited driving. The pads are gentle on rotors and produce low to moderate dust compared to many high-performance alternatives. As always, verify this part's fitment with your specific vehicle configuration before installation to ensure proper brake system compatibility.
