Using your Hawk HPS 5.0 Brake Pads is straightforward. Just replace your factory pads with these custom - designed ones. When driving, you'll notice a firmer pedal feel and quicker stops right away. Remember, these pads are designed to push your braking performance, but don't push too hard too soon. If you're new to high - performance brakes, gradually get used to the increased power. As for maintenance, since they generate minimal dust, you won't have to clean your wheels as often. Keep an eye on your rotors, though, and if you notice any unusual noise or vibration, have them checked. And don't worry, these pads are covered by a Limited Lifetime Warranty, so you can drive with confidence.
