Fitment Notes

• Position: Front axle only for all OEM vehicle fitments listed above.
• For Alcon CAR89 caliper fitment: this pad uses the HB122 shape with 51mm radial depth. The HB1109 shape (54mm radial depth) is a separate application - verify your caliper's pad depth before ordering.
• Caliper type: OEM stock calipers for all Audi and A6 applications listed; aftermarket racing calipers for Alcon and AP Racing fitment.
• Not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors. For use with iron/metal rotors only.
• Audi B8 Allroad Quattro fitment applies to 2.0T models only.
• Some Audi B6 A4 models were produced in both FWD and Quattro AWD configurations - verify drivetrain and caliper type before ordering.

Features

• HPS (High Performance Street) Ferro-Carbon compound - Hawk's most widely adopted street performance formula, developed with aerospace-grade severe-duty friction technology for consistent stopping power on street-driven vehicles.
• Up to 20-40% more stopping power over OEM pads - The higher coefficient of friction delivers noticeably shorter stopping distances in everyday driving conditions, hot or cold.
• High friction/torque hot or cold - The HPS compound builds strong initial bite from ambient temperatures and maintains consistent torque output through the full operating range without requiring warm-up.
• Superior fade resistance - The Ferro-Carbon formulation maintains friction stability under repeated hard stops, delivering more consistent brake feel compared to standard OEM replacement pads.
• Gentle on rotors - The HPS compound is engineered to minimize disc wear, extending rotor service life compared to more aggressive performance street compounds.
• Virtually noise-free operation - Integrally molded shim-free construction, combined with the compound's linear torque characteristics, minimizes brake squeal and NVH in everyday driving.
• Extended pad life - Lower wear rates than most OEM and entry-level performance replacement pads make the HPS a cost-effective long-term upgrade for daily drivers.
• Extremely low dust output - Significantly cleaner than OEM pads in normal street driving, though slightly more dust than Hawk's ceramic compound as a trade-off for improved brake torque.
• Compatible with OEM and aftermarket calipers - The HB122 pad shape bridges both OEM Audi stock brake applications and high-performance aftermarket caliper systems including Alcon CAR89, AP Racing CP5060/CP5570, Baer 6S/6R, and StopTech ST-60.

Product Description

The Hawk HB122F.710 HPS brake pads are one of Hawk Performance's most versatile front street pad offerings, spanning a wide range of OEM Audi applications - from the B5 S4 through the B8/B8.5 A4, A5, S4, and S5 - as well as popular aftermarket racing calipers including the Alcon CAR89, AP Racing CP5060 and CP5570, Baer 6S/6R, and StopTech ST-60 systems. Using Hawk's proven Ferro-Carbon HPS formula, these pads are engineered to deliver up to 20-40% more stopping power over OEM pads while remaining street-friendly in terms of noise, rotor wear, and dust output. The compound works effectively from 100°F, providing consistent cold bite on early starts without requiring a heat cycle - a critical advantage for daily-driven performance vehicles that also see occasional spirited driving.

Compared to the original OEM brake pads found on B5 through B8 Audi platforms, the HPS compound delivers a firmer, more confident pedal with greater initial bite and improved fade resistance under sustained hard braking. The trade-off versus OEM is a modest increase in brake dust, though the HPS remains significantly cleaner than higher-friction performance compounds like the HP Plus or DTC series. For Alcon CAR89 and AP Racing big brake kit owners, the HB122 pad shape with 0.710-inch thickness fits the 51mm radial depth variant of the CAR89 - buyers should confirm their specific pad depth before ordering, as the 54mm variant uses the HB1109 shape.

The HB122F.710 is positioned as a front-axle-only pad for all OEM vehicle applications and is sold as a set of two pads. It is compatible with standard iron or metal rotors only and must not be used on carbon ceramic brake discs. No electronic wear sensor or additional hardware is included. Hawk recommends a proper bed-in procedure using progressive slow-downs from 30-45 mph after installation to establish an even transfer film on the rotor surface and achieve maximum HPS compound performance.
