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.
Key Features & Benefits of Hawk Performance LTS Brake Pads:
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.
