Important Note:

Brakes are a safety critical part of a motor vehicle. Brake components should be installed by a competent mechanic in a professional manner. Any incorrect installation of brake components can cause a major safety problem or an accident. If you are not a competent and qualified mechanic you should not attempt to install these products, but should take the vehicle to a vehicle dealer or competent automotive mechanic for their installation.


Disc brake pads and rotors are wear items and as such, should be inspected regularly and replaced as necessary. Read More.

Heavier vehicles with larger brake systems are more likely to experience higher temperatures, requiring a brake pad that has excellent heat dissipation characteristics. Hawk Performance has applied their severe-duty friction technology to the braking demands of light trucks and SUVs. Their new LTS (Light Truck & SUV) Ferro-Carbon compound was developed utilizing cutting edge polymer research, advanced carbon fiber processing, on-vehicle field evaluations and extensive dynamometer testing. The new compound combines the durability of Hawk Performance's commercial fleet products with the elevated stopping power of its performance street and motorsports formulations.

Features & Benefits

  • Improved braking over standard replacement pads
  • Smooth engagement
  • Extremely fade resistant
  • Low noise output
  • Low dust output
  • Extended pad life
  • Increased rotor life

Brake pads are wear items and as such, should be inspected regularly and replaced as necessary. Pads should be replaced when approximately 1/8th inch of friction material remains on the steel backing plate.

Note: Even though Hawk Performance burnishes its brake pads as a final step in the factory, all brake pads have to be bedded-in with the rotors (new or used) that they will be used against. Properly bedding-in new brake pads results in a transfer film being generated at the pad and rotor interface to maximize brake performance.

    These pads are well worth the money, especially with a large truck and/or towing (10k trailer weight). The initial bite and overall feel is excellent with no perceived fade. I have not noticed any noise though they do produce some dust, but that is expected and easily washes off. All trucks in the family now get a set of these pads.

    Overall, brakes are what I expected from Hawk. I was nervous at first because they aren’t HPS which I’m accustomed to buying. No more brake fade and bites a lot harder than stock. There is significant brake dust, but it is expected considering the brake pad. Overall, best performance brake pads for this vehicle. If your a super aggressive driver, get these pads and throw some Michelin Defenders or Super Sports on your CX5 for a better driving experience.

    After replacing my stock rotors and brake pads with these LTS pads I am really impressed with the new pads. Overall performance is much better than the stock setup in both city and highway driving. Living around DC you often have to slam on your brakes due to some politician cutting you off and I have not hit one yet (even if I want to). The brakes also work very well while towing a car trailer. I felt very confident in my ability to stop on my 1,300 mile trip I had with the trailer on the back. The only downside are they sometimes squeak when cold and brake dust seems to increase from stock (I don t mind since I have gray wheels).
