Hawk Performance HPS 5.0 Rear Brake Pads – HB917B.626

Take your road car’s braking performance to the next level with the Hawk Performance HPS 5.0 Rear Brake Pad Set HB917B.626.

Developed for drivers who demand more braking performance than a conventional replacement pad can provide, Hawk’s High Performance Street 5.0 compound combines responsive braking, excellent modulation and predictable pedal feel with characteristics suitable for everyday performance road use.

Whether you drive a BMW M340i, M440i, M240i, Z4, selected BMW G-Series model or Toyota GR Supra, the Hawk HPS 5.0 range is engineered to give performance-focused drivers greater confidence when braking.

High Performance Street Braking

The Hawk HPS 5.0 compound has been developed specifically for high-performance street applications.

Unlike a standard replacement brake pad designed primarily around normal commuting requirements, the HPS 5.0 compound is engineered to provide a more performance-orientated braking response while maintaining the control and predictability required for road use.

The result is a brake pad suitable for drivers who enjoy fast-road and spirited driving and want to improve their braking system without immediately moving to a dedicated motorsport compound.

Advanced Ferro-Carbon Compound

Hawk Performance manufactures the HPS 5.0 using an advanced Ferro-Carbon friction material derived from the company’s experience with severe-duty, aerospace and motorsport braking technology.

The compound provides excellent friction characteristics while maintaining smooth and predictable braking behaviour.

Under hard braking, the HPS 5.0 compound is designed to deliver strong braking torque and high deceleration rates while providing the driver with good control through the brake pedal.

This makes the HB917B.626 an excellent upgrade for performance vehicles used predominantly on the road.

Strong, Predictable Braking Performance

Good performance brake pads are not simply about creating an aggressive initial bite. Controllability is equally important.

Hawk HPS 5.0 pads are designed to provide a progressive and predictable response, helping the driver accurately control braking force.

Benefits include:

• Strong braking torque
• Improved braking response
• Predictable pedal feel
• Smooth brake modulation
• Consistent brake release
• Confidence during repeated heavy braking
• Excellent street-driving characteristics

This combination makes the HPS 5.0 particularly suitable for powerful performance cars where the factory braking system may benefit from a higher-performance friction material.

Wide Operating Temperature Range

The Hawk Performance HPS 5.0 compound operates over a broad temperature range, making it suitable for normal street driving as well as more demanding fast-road use.

Temperature Specifications

Optimal temperature range:
38°C–288°C / 100°F–550°F

Operating temperature range:
38°C–399°C / 100°F–750°F

The broad operating range allows the pads to perform effectively from normal road-driving temperatures through to the elevated temperatures generated by harder braking.

Excellent Pad and Rotor Life

Performance does not have to mean excessive brake wear.

Hawk has engineered the HPS 5.0 compound to provide a balance between braking torque, pad longevity and brake-disc life.

This makes HB917B.626 particularly attractive for owners who want an upgraded braking setup without sacrificing everyday usability.
