Hawk Performance's HPS (High Performance Street) compound is a ferro-carbon friction material built to raise brake torque over a stock pad while staying civil on a daily-driven, street-legal car. Hawk publishes it as delivering increased stopping power with a smooth braking feel, consistent brake release, and wear characteristics that stay gentle on rotors. It is a street compound, not a race compound.
HB563F.656 and HB563B.656 are the same HB563 pad shape in two different compounds, F is HPS, B is HPS 5.0, so they share one application list. The HB563 shape is the Brembo front pad for the high-output LX cars: Chrysler 300 SRT8 and 300 SRT8 Core, Dodge Charger and Challenger SRT8, R/T 392, Scat Pack and T/A, Magnum SRT8, and the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8. Standard non-Brembo 300, Charger and Challenger models take the HB509 shape instead. Compound: HPS. The same shape in HPS 5.0 is HB563B.656, that is the only difference between the two part numbers. Pad thickness 0.656 in, taken from the .656 suffix in the part number. For Brembo / 4-piston front calipers, this is the SRT8 and Scat Pack shape, not the base-brake shape. Sold as a complete 4-pad axle set, enough for one axle, not one wheel. Bed-in is required before normal use; follow Hawk's published installation and bed-in procedure. Street compound, Hawk categorises this pad under Street, not Motorsports. Not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors. Hawk pads are designed to work with iron/metal rotors.
