Hawk Honda 98-02 Accord / 06-11 Civic / Polaris Slingshot HT-10 Race Front Brake Pads (Two Pads/Box)

Hawk HT-10 Race Compound Delivers Intermediate to High Torque Stopping Power for the 1998-2002 Honda Accord and 2006-2011 Honda Civic

The Hawk HB275S.594 HT-10 front brake pads are a motorsport-proven race compound engineered for drivers who need controlled, linear stopping power in the intermediate to high temperature range. The HT-10 compound provides smooth initial bite and excellent in-pedal modulation without the aggressive cold bite that makes some race pads difficult to drive on street applications. Rated for an optimal operating temperature of 500 to 1100 degrees Fahrenheit with a safe operating range of 300 to 1300 degrees, HB275S.594 is suited for road course use, autocross, time attack, and high-performance street driving where brakes are worked hard and consistency matters more than edge grip. Each box includes two pads. For a complete front-to-rear track brake setup on your Honda Accord, Civic, or Acura, see the matching rear pads listed in the Related Parts section below.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Hawk HB275S.594 is an HT-10 race compound front brake pad designed for the 1998-2002 Honda Accord, 2006-2011 Honda Civic, and 2011-2014 Honda Insight. It delivers smooth initial bite and consistent pedal feel with an optimal operating range of 500 to 1100 degrees Fahrenheit, making it suitable for road course, autocross, and high-performance street applications.

Yes. The HB275S.594 is a direct replacement front pad for the 1998-2002 Honda Accord in DX, EX, LX, SE, and Value Package trims, for the 2006-2011 Honda Civic in DX, EX, EX-L, GX, Hybrid, Hybrid-L, LX, LX-S, MUGEN Si, and Si trims, and for the 2011-2014 Honda Insight in EX and LX trims. Always verify your front caliper and rotor specifications against the pad dimensions before ordering.

Each box contains two pads, which is enough for one axle end. To complete a full front axle replacement, two boxes are needed. The HT-10 compound is available for the rear axle separately as the Hawk HB145S.570, listed in the Related Parts section.

The HT-10 optimal operating range is 500 to 1100 degrees Fahrenheit, with a safe range of 300 to 1300 degrees. At normal street temperatures the pads are functional, but the compound performs best and delivers its rated friction and modulation characteristics once warmed up through repeated hard braking.

Yes, but with the understanding that HT-10 is designed for track use first. Cold bite is intentionally smooth and progressive, which makes the pads functional on the street, but they produce more dust and noise than a street-optimized compound. For primarily street use, consider the Hawk HPS or HPS 5.0 compound for the same application.

Two rear pad options are available for Honda Civic Si on our site. The Hawk HB145S.570 HT-10 Race Rear Brake Pads deliver matching HT-10 compound on the rear axle for a consistent front-to-rear track brake setup. The Hawk HB145Z.570 Ceramic Street Rear Brake Pads offer a quieter, lower-dust alternative on the rear for drivers who prefer a street-biased rear compound behind the race compound fronts. Both are linked in the Related Parts section above.

Yes. Hawk recommends a proper bed-in procedure to transfer an even layer of friction material onto the rotor surface. Perform 6 to 10 medium stops from 60 mph without fully stopping the vehicle, allowing cooling time between stops. Then perform 4 to 5 more aggressive stops from higher speeds. Allow the brakes to cool completely before hard track use. Proper bed-in maximizes performance and prevents rotor hot spots.

HT-10 is designed for intermediate to high torque at moderate to high temperatures with smooth, linear modulation. DTC-60 is a more aggressive compound optimized for higher brake temperatures with greater overall friction levels. HT-10 is generally preferred for endurance road racing and mixed street-track use where consistent pedal feel matters; DTC-60 is preferred for sprint races and time attack where maximum stopping force at high temperature is the priority.

Installation Instructions

1. Lift and safely support the vehicle on jack stands. Remove the wheel on the axle being serviced.
2. Inspect the brake caliper, caliper bracket, rotor, and brake lines for wear, damage, or fluid leaks. Replace any worn components before installing new pads.
3. Remove the caliper bolts and slide the caliper off the rotor. Do not allow the caliper to hang by the brake line. Support it with a wire hook.
4. Remove the old brake pads and any retaining clips, shims, or hardware from the caliper bracket.
5. Clean the caliper bracket sliding surfaces with a wire brush and brake parts cleaner. Apply a thin coat of caliper grease to the metal contact points only. Do not apply grease to the pad friction surface or rotor.
6. Compress the caliper piston using a C-clamp and a worn pad or wooden block. Open the brake fluid reservoir cap first to relieve pressure.
7. Install the new HB275S.594 pads in the caliper bracket. Ensure all retaining clips and hardware are properly seated.
8. Reinstall the caliper over the rotor and torque the caliper bolts to the vehicle manufacturer's specification.
9. Pump the brake pedal until firm pedal resistance is felt and piston contact with the pads is confirmed. Check brake fluid level in the reservoir and top up if necessary.
10. Perform the Hawk bed-in procedure before aggressive braking. Refer to the FAQ section above for the recommended bed-in steps.
