Frequently Asked Questions

How do I confirm these Hawk pads fit my brakes?
Match the exact Hawk part number and normalized year, make, and model, then confirm axle position, caliper, rotor diameter, factory brake package, trim, and every application note.

Which Hawk street compound is right for daily driving?
Compound choice depends on desired bite, noise, dust, temperature range, and driving use. HPS, HPS 5.0, Performance Ceramic, HP Plus, and other compounds have different priorities, so confirm the exact compound before ordering.

Do new Hawk pads need to be bedded?
Yes. Prepare or replace the rotor as required and follow Hawk's current bedding procedure for the exact compound to establish an even transfer layer and reduce noise or glazing.

Installation Instructions

Follow current Hawk Performance instructions and the vehicle service manual for part number HB788Z.745. Support the vehicle safely, inspect calipers and hoses, clean and measure rotor and hub surfaces, use the specified torque procedure, bleed the system when opened, verify pedal operation and clearance, then complete the bedding procedure for the exact pad compound before normal driving.

Record front-wheel drive or quattro, and distinguish gasoline, diesel and plug-in hybrid applications where relevant. A3 hatchback, sedan and cabriolet components should be checked individually. Include production-date restrictions and any intake, turbo, brake or suspension changes. Similar Audi/VW platform names are useful search details, but the full manufacturer application must match the installed vehicle and assembly. Intake and Exhaust Selection The selection includes an AWE 8P A3 front-wheel-drive resonated cat-back exhaust. Confirm that specific drivetrain, body, engine and connection layout before ordering.

Compare the manufacturer’s sound description, resonator arrangement and valve operation for the exact system. Check tip size and finish alongside pipe routing and kit contents. A valve simulator or conversion section is a separate component, so establish which original or aftermarket system it requires. Induction and Brake Selection For an intake or turbo-inlet pipe, match the engine generation, turbo connection and emissions-related fittings. Confirm whether a breather filter or adapter is part of the kit rather than adding components by appearance. S3 brake applications vary by generation and equipment.

Audi TT Quattro Parts and Accessories

Choose Audi TT quattro parts around the all-wheel-drive chassis and exact engine application. Induction components, dampers and brake equipment need generation-specific coverage. Intake Connections and Engine Hardware TT quattro applications span different engines and intake arrangements. Early intake references may specify a 180 hp configuration, while later turbo-inlet applications depend on engine generation and the installed turbo connection. For crankshaft dampers, match engine code, mounting pattern and pulley layout. A 1.8T, 2.0 FSI/TSI or other engine reference does not establish a common damper assembly. All-Wheel-Drive Chassis and Brakes Use quattro-specific coverage for drivetrain and suspension service. Record transmission, installed shaft components and suspension type where those details are part of the manufacturer’s application. Match rotors, pads and hardware by axle, caliper and dimensions.
