Hawk Performance HPS 5.0 Front Brake Pad Set HB971B.605 - 2022-2026 Ford Maverick
SKU: hawkHB971B.605
Overview
The Hawk Performance HPS 5.0 Brake Pad Set (HB971B.605) is a premium Ferro-Carbon performance disc brake pad engineered specifically for the 2022–2024 Ford Maverick. Designed for drivers who demand more than OEM stopping power — whether navigating city streets, highways, or spirited weekend adventures — these pads deliver 20–40% more stopping power over standard replacement pads while maintaining street-friendly characteristics. If you're tired of the squealing and lackluster feel of your factory brake pads, the Hawk HPS 5.0 is the ideal performance upgrade for your Maverick.
Key Features & Benefits
- Ferro-Carbon Compound ("B" Code) — Hawk's proprietary HPS 5.0 compound combines aerospace safety standards with motorsports braking technology, delivering superior stopping power and pedal feel that standard OEM pads simply can't match.
- 20–40% More Stopping Power — A higher coefficient of friction over stock brake pads translates to measurably shorter stopping distances, giving you greater confidence in every braking situation.
- Advanced Fade Resistance — The HPS 5.0 compound withstands higher operating temperatures and resists brake fade under heavy or repeated braking conditions, delivering consistent performance where OEM pads fall short.
- Progressive, Linear Pedal Feel — Delivers a predictable, proportional increase in braking force as pedal pressure increases — for confident, controlled stops every time with no surprises.
- Low Dust Formula — Formulated to produce and release extremely low levels of brake dust during normal street driving, keeping your wheels cleaner longer.
- Very Low Noise — Engineered to be very quiet during normal street operation — a direct improvement over the squealing commonly reported with factory Maverick brake pads.
- Gentle on Rotors — The HPS 5.0 compound is designed to extend rotor life while still providing aggressive braking performance, protecting your investment in your braking system.
- ABS Compatible — Pushes the limits of ABS systems without compromising their function, giving you maximum stopping power while keeping modern safety systems fully operational.
- Extended Pad Life — More durable than most OEM replacement pads, reducing how often you need to service your brakes.
- Made in the USA — Manufactured domestically by Hawk Performance (a CentroMotion brand), backed by strict quality control standards.

Fitment & Compatibility
This brake pad set is a direct-fit application for the following vehicles across all available trim levels (Base, Big Bend, Heritage, Heritage Limited Edition, Outer Banks, and Badlands) and both available engines (1.5L EcoBoost & 2.0L EcoBoost):
- 2022 Ford Maverick — All Trims / 1.5L & 2.0L
- 2023 Ford Maverick — All Trims / 1.5L & 2.0L
- 2024 Ford Maverick — All Trims / 1.5L & 2.0L
- 2025 Ford Maverick — All Trims / 1.5L & 2.0L
- 2026 Ford Maverick — All Trims / 1.5L & 2.0L
⚠️ Important: Always verify fitment using your vehicle's VIN before purchasing. Cross-reference OEM part number for additional confirmation. These pads are designed for use with iron/metal rotors only — not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors.
Is this CARB compliant? Hawk Performance brake pads are replacement friction parts and are generally exempt from CARB aftermarket parts regulations, but always check your local emissions regulations if in doubt.
Installation
The Hawk HPS 5.0 is a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory Ford Maverick brake pads with no modifications required. DIY installation is achievable for experienced home mechanics with basic tools. Important note for Maverick owners: The Maverick is equipped with an Electronic Parking Brake (EPB). When servicing the rear brakes, the vehicle must be placed in "Brake Maintenance Mode" before removing the calipers to avoid damaging the EPB actuator — consult your owner's manual or a qualified technician for this procedure. Professional installation is recommended for those without brake service experience. After installation, a proper brake pad bed-in (break-in) procedure is required to generate a transfer film at the pad/rotor interface for maximum braking performance — even though Hawk factory-burnishes all pads as a final production step. Pads should be replaced when approximately 1/8" of friction material remains on the steel backing plate.
