FAQ
What is the HB726C.582?It is a Hawk Performance HPX front brake pad set with a published 0.582-inch pad thickness for the listed General Motors brake applications.
Where are these pads installed?They install on the front axle of the manufacturer-listed brake configurations.
What driving use is the HPX compound intended for?Hawk lists this HPX compound for autocross and performance driving where smooth initial bite and controllable modulation are priorities.
Do these pads fit every Camaro, Corvette, or CTS?No. Fitment depends on the exact year, model, trim, engine, caliper finish, balance-weight style, and factory brake package shown in the fitment table.
Are shims included?Hawk lists OE shims for only some of the supported applications, so the exact vehicle row must be checked before installation.
Are brake rotors included?No. Rotors and other brake-system components are sold separately.
Do the pads require bedding?Yes. Prepare the rotor surface correctly and follow Hawk's current HPX bedding procedure before full-load use.
What should be checked before ordering?Confirm the exact vehicle application, front brake package, caliper configuration, 0.582-inch thickness, round balance weights, and any shim notes.
Installation Instructions
- Confirm the exact vehicle, front brake package, caliper configuration, balance-weight style, and shim requirement before disassembly.
- Raise and support the vehicle safely, remove the front wheels, and inspect the calipers, hoses, rotors, and mounting hardware.
- Clean and prepare the rotor surfaces, retract the caliper pistons correctly, and install the pads using the vehicle service procedure.
- Torque caliper and wheel fasteners to the vehicle specifications, then pump the brake pedal until it is firm before moving the vehicle.
- Complete Hawk's current HPX bedding procedure and verify pedal feel, clearance, noise, and safe brake operation.
