Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The HB799F.597 is a direct rear pad fitment for 2011 through 2019 Toyota Sienna XLE trim levels. No modifications are required for installation.

Yes. Hawk recommends a standard break-in process: perform 6 to 8 medium-pressure stops from approximately 35 mph, allowing the brakes to cool between stops. This burnishes the pad compound onto the rotor surface for optimal performance.

No. All Hawk Performance compounds, including the HPS formula, are designed for use with iron and metal rotors only. They are not compatible with carbon ceramic rotor systems.

The HPS compound delivers 20 to 40 percent more stopping power than most OEM pads in the same application, with the added benefit of lower brake dust output. Pedal feel remains smooth and progressive, which makes them well-suited to daily driving on the Lexus RX350 and RX450h.

The HPS compound is rated for an optimal range of 100 to 500 degrees F with a maximum operating limit of 700 degrees F. This range covers everyday street driving, including spirited use and occasional mountain descents, without the risk of fade that lower-rated pads can exhibit.

The HPS compound is specifically formulated to be gentle on rotors. Extended pad and rotor service life is one of the primary design targets of the HPS line, making HB799F.597 a solid long-term value for Highlander and Sienna owners who drive daily.

Yes. The HB799F.597 is listed as a direct rear fitment for the 2013 through 2015 Lexus RX350 F Sport. The F Sport uses the same rear brake hardware as the standard RX350 in this generation, so fitment is confirmed.

Not necessarily. If your existing rotors are within manufacturer thickness tolerances and do not show deep grooves, warping, or cracking, you can install the HB799F.597 pads directly. However, for best results and optimal bedding, pairing new pads with fresh or freshly machined rotors is always recommended.

The HPS compound is engineered for smooth, predictable brake release with minimal noise under normal street conditions. If squealing occurs after installation, ensure proper bedding has been completed and verify that anti-squeal shims are installed correctly.

Hawk Performance backs HPS brake pads with a limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Contact Hawk Performance directly or refer to the product documentation for specific warranty terms and claim procedures.

Installation Instructions

1. Lift the vehicle and support it securely on jack stands. Remove the rear wheels.
2. Loosen and remove the rear caliper slide bolts. Hang the caliper using a wire hook to avoid stressing the brake hose.
3. Remove the old brake pads from the caliper bracket. Note the position of any anti-squeal shims or hardware.
4. Inspect the rotors for excessive wear, grooves, or warping. Machine or replace as needed before proceeding.
5. Using a caliper piston tool, slowly compress the rear caliper piston back into the caliper bore. Note that some rear calipers have threaded pistons that must be rotated while pressing.
6. Clean the caliper bracket sliding surfaces with a wire brush and apply a thin layer of caliper brake lubricant to the pad contact points only.
7. Install the anti-squeal shims onto the new Hawk HB799F.597 pads if applicable for your application.
8. Insert the new pads into the caliper bracket, ensuring they seat flush and slide freely.
9. Reinstall the caliper over the pads and hand-tighten the slide bolts, then torque to specification per your vehicle service manual.
10. Reinstall the wheels, lower the vehicle, and torque the lug nuts to specification.
11. Pump the brake pedal repeatedly until firm resistance is felt before attempting to move the vehicle.
12. Perform the Hawk bedding procedure: 6 to 8 stops from 35 mph with moderate pressure, cooling between each stop.
