HAWK HB548N.590 - 08-10 Chevy Cobalt Front Brake Pads

Autocross and Track Compound Front Brake Pads (HB548N.590) by HAWK®. FMSI: D1379. This is a set of replacement front brake pads that is designed to be used on the track and on the street where performance vehicles are driven aggressively and experience more repetitive, heavy braking. Pads are designed to the precise tolerances of factory parts for proper fit and operation, but are made of a specialized Ferro-Carbon formulation that has a higher friction coefficient to dig in and grab. Also safe for normal street driving. Limited lifetime warranty.

Features:

• Ferro-Carbon pad construction has an extremely high friction output designed for autocross and club racetrack events
• Pads provide progressive brake feel and are safe for street use also
• Pads and clips are designed in the precise size and shape of factory OEM parts for proper fit and operation
• Set of brake pads for front wheels only
• Reduced heat buildup eliminates brake fading that occurs when brake fluid reaches boiling temperature under heavy use
• Pre-chamfered edges ensure more effective braking against worn brake rotors
• Slotted center groove provides more effective removal of water, dust, and gasses that build up normally during the braking process
• Limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects (not wear)

Autocross and Track Compound Brake Pads are designed to let you stop on a dime from triple-digit speeds while maintaining gradual and progressive application that makes them easy to live with and use on the street. They come designed for grip the minute you put them on your vehicle with a rougher, heat-scorched top layer for the best initial mating with new or worn brake rotor surfaces. Once the pads have fully broken in, the grip they are known for is available at all times whether the brakes are cold on an icy morning or hot during an endurance race.

These brake pads are made not from ceramic materials, but a Ferro-Carbon compound consisting of iron, carbon, and titanium. The high friction level that results in extreme levels of grip is a result of the abrasive nature of this metallic blend, and under heavy use the Autocross and Track Compound Brake Pads will cause a higher level of abrasive wear on brake rotors. However, these ferro-carbon pads resist heat buildup that plagues OEM pads under heavy use, so there will be no need to compensate for reduced effectiveness after brake fluid gets hot enough to boil in the lines. While the many advantages of street/track brake pads typically come at a high cost, CARiD offers you the superior all-around performance of these parts with value-priced brake parts from Hawk.
