Hawk Performance TSX/Accord HPS Street Front Brake Pads

If your TSX or Accord is running stock brake pads, you're leaving real stopping performance on the table. The Hawk Performance HPS (High Performance Street) Front Brake Pads are a direct bolt-on upgrade built specifically for street driving more bite, better pedal feel, and no sacrifice in daily driveability.

Hawk's Ferro-Carbon compound is the core of what makes HPS pads stand apart from OEM replacements. It runs a coefficient of friction between µ=0.38 and µ=0.60 noticeably higher than stock which translates to shorter stopping distances from everyday speeds like 60 or 80 mph. The compound reaches full operating temperature faster than most performance pads, so you get consistent braking whether you're in city traffic or pushing hard on an on-ramp.

Despite that extra bite, HPS pads are engineered to be easy on rotors. The Ferro-Carbon formula minimizes rotor scoring and uneven wear, so you're not forced into an early rotor replacement just because you upgraded your pads. Low dust output and quiet street operation round out the package — these aren't track pads fighting against daily use.

• Ferro-Carbon compound - coefficient of friction µ=0.38-0.60
• Improved stopping power over OEM without aggressive rotor wear
• Faster warm-up time for consistent bite in street conditions
• Low dust, low noise - street-friendly daily driver behavior
• Compatible with iron/metal rotors only - not for carbon ceramic rotors
• Direct OEM replacement fit - no modifications needed

Fitment covers: 2004-2014 Acura TSX, 2003-2012 Honda Accord, 2001-2003 Acura CL, 1999-2004 Acura RL, and 1999-2008 Acura TL. See the full fitment table below to confirm your year, trim, and engine.

Bed-in Procedure: For best results, perform a proper bed-in after install. From 60 mph, apply moderate brake pressure down to 10 mph without fully stopping - repeat 6-8 times with a 1-2 minute cool-down interval between each pass. This seats the compound evenly across the rotor face and unlocks full pad performance.

Pair these with Hawk HPS rotors for a matched front brake upgrade, or run them on your current rotors if they still have usable life left.
