Product Description

The Hawk HB148F.560 brake pads in the HPS compound are a performance-oriented street pad designed to give drivers improved stopping power, fade resistance, and consistent feel compared to many stock replacement pads. Built with a high-performance friction formulation, these pads are ideal for street-legal use where spirited driving or occasional high-load braking may occur, such as canyon runs or performance commuting. The HPS compound increases the coefficient of friction over many OEM pads, often delivering 20-40% more stopping force and a smoother, more predictable pedal feel. Their design also prioritizes extended rotor life and low dust output for a cleaner wheel appearance.

Specifically fitted for the front brakes of 1990-1993 Mazda MX-5 Miata models with a 1.6L engine, the HB148F.560 pads replace the factory pads using OEM caliper designs. With 0.560" thickness, they provide a direct - no-modification fit and are engineered for iron or metal rotors rather than carbon ceramic rotors. These pads are a popular upgrade for Miata owners seeking a balance of increased everyday braking performance and street-friendly comfort. Always perform a proper bed-in procedure after install to maximize pad and rotor life and ensure optimal brake performance.
