Hi Everyone,

Acute Performance has the best deal on Hawk Performance Pads. For those who haven't heard of Hawk, Hawk Performance brand disc brake pad products are owned and manufactured by Wellman Products Group, the world's leader in severe-duty friction products. Wellman Products Group introduced Hawk Performance high performance disc brake pads into the Motorsports arena more than 15 years ago and the brand has outperformed the competition and gained a loyal race and street following.

Hawk Performance is the official pad of choice by SCCA (Sports Car Club of America). They offer pads ranging from ceramic to ferro-carbon to full on race pads.

By far the most popular pad I sell is the Hawk HPS ferro-carbon which offers much improved braking over OE complimented with less dust.



Price is as follows:

Hawk HPS for M3
Front - $100 (Includes 2 Sensors)
Rear - $75
Brake Sensor - $20/ea
Total - $195

You'll need 3 sensors for your M3.

Shipping is FREE to the 48 states.

Here are some reviews from the E60 folks.

"Get the hawk pads whenever you're ready. When I got mine from Michael the stealer had just replaced them too - under the maintenance warranty. Even the new pads were squeaky and created a lot of dust, so I jumped at the chance to get the Hawks and I'm very glad I did, the bite is soooooo much better and the dust is almost non-existent :twoup:" - pjinca

"Git'er done~~~ :twoup:
I took the picture 3 days after we put the pads on with about 100 miles on the new pads and rotors. I must say the lips of my rims were darn near free of brake dust where as before I could see the "pinkish" tint on them after driving only a short time. The finish on my rims are going to last longer too obviously because there's less corrosive material getting on them." - toyota2bmw

"I actually installed the pads already [Hawk HPS] and they are great!" - SDiE60

"Just in case people want to hear from someone who's had them for almost a year, here are a couple of words on my experience.

1. Dust - WHAT DUST?! Gone. None. Zero. Zilch. Nada. Null. Absolutely don't have any dust anymore.
2. Performance actually gets significantly better after the pads are broken in and bedded in. But the initial lazy bite I was having was mostly due to the fact that I have drilled/slotted rotors, which needed to be bedded in properly to start operating at their best during regular driving.
3. If I may just be so bold as to say this again (and again!) - the HPS pads are absolutely great and I'd totally buy again. Way better than stock - UNQUESTIONABLY! GL everybody!" - v_therussian

"+1 on the R1 Concepts and Hawk HPS. Just installed these on a friends car a few weeks ago. And like pjinca, as soon as I'm out of my maintenance period I'm going with this setup too. " - Kaizen
