Product Description

The Hawk HB543F.760 HPS Front Brake Pads offer a high-performance upgrade for a wide range of Audi and Volkswagen vehicles from 2005 through 2016. Designed with Hawk's proprietary ferro-carbon HPS compound, these pads deliver dramatically improved stopping power, fade resistance, and pedal feel without compromising street manners or rotor longevity. Ideal for drivers who want aggressive brake performance for daily driving, spirited canyon runs, or light autocross use.

These pads operate effectively across a wide temperature range, resist fade under repeated braking, and remain quiet and low-dust in everyday conditions. They are engineered as a direct OEM replacement for factory calipers using the FMSI D1107 backing plate. No modifications are necessary for installation, and all required clips and shims are included. Note: These pads are not compatible with carbon-ceramic rotors and should only be used with standard iron.
