Fitment Notes

  • Universal caliper-specific fitment - not assigned to any particular vehicle make, model, or axle position.
  • Fits Wilwood Dynalite calipers with cotter pin pad retention only - does NOT fit Wilwood Dynalite Bridge Bolt (BB) versions, which use a different pad shape and retention system.
  • Wilwood pad plate designation: 7112. Verify your caliper uses this pad shape before ordering.
  • Suitable for street, spirited driving, autocross, and amateur drag racing use.
  • Not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors; designed for iron/metal rotors only.
  • No hardware included.

Features

  • HPS Ferro-Carbon compound delivers 20-40% more stopping power than standard replacement pads - a meaningful upgrade for any custom or performance build running Wilwood Dynalite calipers.
  • Higher coefficient of friction hot or cold - effective from the first stop with no warm-up required.
  • Smooth pedal feel and consistent brake release characteristics for confident street and autocross driving.
  • Fade resistant across a wide street-use temperature range - effective from dead cold up to 700°F.
  • Gentle on rotors with extended pad and rotor service life over more aggressive race compounds.
  • Virtually noise-free with low dust output - ideal for custom builds driven on the street.
  • Backed by Hawk's limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.

Product Description

The Hawk HB540F.490 HPS brake pads are purpose-built for Wilwood Billet Dynalite (BDL) and Forged Dynalite (FDL) calipers using the 7112 pad shape and cotter pin retention system - a universal fit for any custom, hot rod, race, or performance street build equipped with these calipers. As the HPS (High Performance Street) compound in the HB540 shape, these pads bring Hawk's proven Ferro-Carbon street formula to the Wilwood Dynalite platform, delivering significantly improved stopping power over standard friction materials without sacrificing street drivability, rotor life, or quiet operation.

For builders and enthusiasts running Wilwood Dynalite calipers on street machines, street-strip combos, or autocross cars, the HPS compound is the ideal choice - effective from a dead cold start, fade resistant up to 700°F, and gentle enough on rotors to serve as a long-term daily street pad. Note that this pad is compatible with the cotter pin style Dynalite calipers only; bridge bolt Dynalite calipers require a different pad shape. Verify your caliper's pad plate number (7112) before ordering.
