Hawk Performance 92-00 Civic HPS Street Front Brake Pads

If your 92-00 Honda Civic is still running OEM brake pads, you're leaving stopping power on the table. Hawk's HPS (High Performance Street) compound - part number HB218F.583 - is a sintered metallic formulation that delivers 20-30% more initial bite than stock pads without the harshness or noise you get from full race compounds. It's the sweet spot for a Civic that sees daily commutes, canyon runs, or the occasional autocross weekend.

The HPS compound operates effectively across a wide temperature range, staying consistent from cold morning stops all the way through repeated hard braking. Unlike ceramic pads that fade under sustained heat, the sintered metallic matrix in HPS handles thermal cycling without glazing your rotors. Hawk also engineered these with a low-dust formula, so your wheels stay cleaner longer - a detail daily drivers genuinely appreciate.

Compatible fitments include: 1988-1989 Honda Civic Si, 1992-2000 Honda Civic CX, 1988-2000 Honda Civic DX, 1998-2000 Honda Civic GX, 1988-2000 Honda Civic, 1988-1991 Honda CRX, 1993-1997 Honda Civic del Sol, and 1984-1985 Honda Accord.

What's included: Full front axle pad set (4 pads).

Break-in procedure: Hawk recommends a proper bedding cycle before hard use. Make 6-10 moderate stops from 35 mph down to about 5 mph, allowing 30-60 seconds of cool-down between each. Follow with 2-3 harder stops from 50 mph. This transfers an even layer of friction material to the rotor face and unlocks full HPS performance. Skipping bedding will cause uneven deposits and reduced initial bite.

Technical specs: Pad width 5.02" - height 1.89" - thickness 0.15" - compound type: sintered metallic HPS - Hawk part number HB218F.583.
