Product Description

The Hawk HB263F.650 HPS front brake pads are engineered for the Fox Body Ford Mustang lineup spanning 1985-1993, covering every trim and engine combination from the base 2.3L four-cylinder through the 5.0L V8 GT and 1993 SVT Cobra. These pads also fit the Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe (1985-1988) and Mercury Cougar XR-7 (1985-1986) equipped with organic front brakes on the shared FMSI D431 caliper. Built with Hawk's proven HPS Ferro-Carbon compound, these pads deliver a straightforward and significant upgrade over stock replacement pads - improving stopping power by 20-40% with better fade resistance and a smoother, more consistent pedal feel.

For Fox Body Mustang owners who drive their cars on the street and want a genuine brake improvement without the noise, dust, or rotor aggression of a track compound, the HPS is the ideal solution. These pads work well from cold temperatures, are easy on rotors, and require minimal bed-in time to perform at their best. A proper bed-in procedure after installation is recommended to fully seat the friction material and optimize braking performance.
