Hawk Performance Talon Cross-Drilled and Slotted and Performance Ceramic Brake Pad Kit (HKC5132.350Z)

Hawk Performance Talon Cross-Drilled and Slotted and Performance Ceramic Brake Pad Kit (HKC5132.350Z)These brake pads are designed to maximize all the benefits of ceramic construction to create pads that provide a high level of smooth braking power at high speeds and temperatures while producing virtually no noise, vibration, or dust. Performance Ceramic brake pads are designed to the precise tolerances of factory parts for proper fit and operation of anti lock brakes, but provide longer pad life that is easier on brake rotors. Limited lifetime

These brake pads are designed to maximize all the benefits of ceramic construction to create pads that provide a high level of smooth braking power at high speeds and temperatures while producing virtually no noise, vibration, or dust. Performance Ceramic brake pads are designed to the precise tolerances of factory parts for proper fit and operation of anti-lock brakes, but provide longer pad life that is easier on brake rotors. Limited lifetime warranty. Decades of experience, continuous research and development, and dedication to bringing the highest quality premium friction products have led to Talon® Rotors. Leveraging the high quality performance of Hawk Performance's® unique and proprietary DTC curved slot design, they are built to OE specifications, weights, and production processes, and are engineered to fit a vehicle's current braking system without modification.

Features:

• Pads and clips are designed in the precise size and shape of factory OEM parts for proper fit and operation
• Ceramic pad compounds offer a smoother more superior level of braking power most effective at autobahn speeds
• Designed to work most effectively with ABS systems
• Reduced brake dust keeps wheels much cleaner
• Ceramic pads eliminate squealing under the most extreme cold or hot temperatures
• Ceramic pad compounds wear slower and last longer than OEM equipment
• Reduced heat buildup eliminates brake fading that occurs when brake fluid reaches boiling temperature under heavy use
• Brake rotors are engineered, machined, finished, and coated in ISO certified facilities in North America
• G3000 metallurgy – superior automotive casting material
• Validated design and performance characteristics through extensive dynamometer testing
• All rotors are balanced with CNC programmed, precision milled slots to significantly reduce harmonic resonance issues, maintain a clean pad surface and expel away debris
• Salt-spray tested per ISO-9227, exceeding the 240 hours requirement
• Magni™ coating barrier applied that maintains superior corrosion resistance and ensures quick and easy bed-in that resists galling

Hawk Performance Ceramic Brake Pads are made of ceramic compounds instead of traditional metallic ones found on most vehicles as original equipment. While the benefits of ceramic brakes can be specially tuned to optimize hard racetrack braking, autobahn speed highway needs, or simply provide longer wear, Performance Ceramic brake pads are designed for use to provide higher levels of smooth, refined braking on high performance production cars that may be driven under autobahn conditions rather than on the racetrack. Ceramic pads are used in professional racing because they offer the natural ability to stay cool under the most severe conditions where 200 mile-per-hour speeds generate blistering temperatures. Heat buildup is reduced so extensively that brake fade rarely occurs due to fluid reaching boiling temperature. Ceramic brake pads are far quieter due to their higher resonant frequency undetectable by human ears, so squealing noise does not become an issue, even in the most extreme cold or warm temperatures. Performance Ceramic Brake Pads offer the extremely visible benefit of producing finer, less obtrusive dust that does not stick to most wheel surfaces – most befitting to a high-end automobile. You'll be spared the large amounts of visible black dust that soils aluminum wheels and ultimately becomes corrosive to finishes applied on them. And because the wear factor of ceramic pads is lower than traditional metallic ones, they will last longer.

If you're installing Hawk Performance Ceramic brake pads with new brake rotors, you'll find down the road when the time comes to replace the pads again, rotors will still be usable enough to last through another set of brake pads. If you install them without replacing rotors, pre-chamfered pad edges will mate well against grooves and lips that have already formed as rotor surfaces wear. Instead of the pad squealing as it rubs along the lip edges, it will quietly and evenly press against the part of the rotor where it will have the most effect. To ensure the superior braking power of these pads is not compromised during bad weather conditions, they feature a slotted center groove to effectively remove water, dust, and gasses that build up normally during the braking process. While the many advantages of ceramic brake pads typically come at a high cost, we offer you the superior all-around performance of these parts with value-priced brake parts from Hawk. You don't need a high-performance vehicle to enjoy the benefits these brakes offer, and you might find your dealer charging a similar price while giving you less.
