Fitment Notes

• Front axle only - sold as a set covering the front brake position. Rear pads sold separately.
• Pad shape: HB194 | Thickness: 0.665 in. | Caliper Type: OEM - includes OE-style pad clips and pins.
• Fits all first-generation Dodge Viper trims using the OEM front brake caliper - Base, GTS, R/T-10, ACR, and GT2 variants all confirmed.
• HPS 5.0 is Hawk's most aggressive street compound - delivers higher brake torque and a wider temperature range than standard HPS while retaining ABS compatibility and street-friendly characteristics.
• Not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors. Designed for use with iron/metal rotors only.
• Limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.

Features

• HPS 5.0 (High Performance Street 5.0) Ferro-Carbon compound delivers the greatest possible stopping power and pedal feel without compromising ABS - pushing the limits of what a street brake pad can achieve
• Aggressive torque output provides significantly shorter stopping distances compared to OEM replacement pads - ideal for the high-deceleration demands of the Viper's 8.0L V10 powertrain
• Smooth and predictable braking control with consistent brake release characteristics - designed for spirited driving without the abrupt bite behavior of full race compounds
• Excellent rotor and pad wear life for an aggressive street compound - maintains OEM hardware longevity while delivering substantially higher braking performance
• Minimal fade under elevated temperatures - compound formulation maintains consistent friction output through repeated heavy brake applications encountered in performance driving
• High friction and torque output both hot and cold - reliable from initial cold-stop application without requiring brake temperature warm-up like dedicated race compounds
• Gentle on rotors compared to DTC race compounds - protects the investment in the Viper's brake system while delivering maximum street performance
• Includes OEM-style pad clips and pins for a complete, direct-fit installation without sourcing additional hardware
• Ferro-Carbon friction material developed using aerospace and motorsport braking technology principles

Product Description

The Hawk Performance HB194B.665 is a set of HPS 5.0 compound front brake pads engineered as a direct-fit upgrade for the 1992-2002 Dodge Viper in all trims - Base, GTS, R/T-10, ACR, and GT2 - powered by the 8.0L V10. HPS 5.0 represents the top of Hawk's street brake pad lineup, delivering the most aggressive torque and highest operating temperature capability of any Hawk Performance street compound while maintaining full ABS compatibility and the street-friendly characteristics - low noise, manageable cold-temperature bite, and iron rotor compatibility - that distinguish it from Hawk's race-only DTC compound series. For Viper owners who demand the absolute maximum braking performance from a direct-fit OEM street pad without moving to a dedicated race compound, HPS 5.0 is the definitive choice.

The HPS 5.0's Ferro-Carbon formulation combines aerospace-grade friction material design with motorsport braking technology to produce significantly shorter stopping distances and higher resistance to brake fade compared to OEM and standard replacement pads. The compound delivers high brake torque and friction output from a cold state, without requiring the heat-cycling bed-in procedure of race compounds to achieve effective stopping power - making it practical for daily-driven Vipers and weekend performance drivers alike. Consistent brake release characteristics and smooth pedal modulation allow the driver to precisely manage the enormous deceleration forces the Viper's braking system is capable of generating.

Each set ships with OEM-style pad clips and pins for a complete installation without the need to source additional hardware. Installation uses the factory front caliper with no modification required. Rear brake pads for the Dodge Viper are available separately in the HPS 5.0 and other Hawk compounds in the HB193 pad shape at 0.670 in. thickness. All Hawk HPS 5.0 pads are designed for iron and metal rotors only and are not compatible with carbon ceramic brake systems. Covered by Hawk's limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
