Hawk HKC4497.553F Talon Cross-Drilled & Slotted Rotor and HPS Brake Pad Kit

The Hawk Performance HKC4497.553F Talon Brake Kit pairs high-performance cross-drilled and slotted Talon rotors with Hawk's renowned HPS (High Performance Street) Ferro-Carbon brake pads into one complete, ready-to-install upgrade. Engineered to work seamlessly together, this kit delivers a noticeable improvement in stopping power, pedal feel, and fade resistance over standard OEM brake components.

Talon Cross-Drilled & Slotted Rotors:

• Produced from Grade 3000 cast iron and engineered, machined, and finished in ISO-certified North American facilities
• Features Hawk's exclusive patented DTC curved slot design, CNC-programmed and precision-milled to reduce harmonic resonance and maintain a clean pad surface
• Cross-drilled holes optimized for improved thermal efficiency, heat dissipation, and wet-weather braking performance
• Black Magni corrosion-resistant coating that is salt-spray tested to exceed the ISO-9227 240-hour requirement
• Built to OE specifications, weights, and production processes for direct, no-modification fitment
• Validated through extensive brake dynamometer testing

HPS (High Performance Street) Brake Pads:

• Unique Ferro-Carbon compound developed using aerospace and motorsports severe-duty friction technology
• Delivers 20–40% more stopping power and higher resistance to brake fade compared to most standard replacement pads
• Upper operating temperature range of 800–900°F, suitable for street driving and occasional light track use
• Produces less brake dust than OEM pads for cleaner wheels
• Hawk-burnished at the factory; proper bed-in with rotors recommended for maximum performance

The Hawk Talon cross-drilled and slotted rotor and HPS brake pad kit is the ideal street performance brake upgrade, combining the durability and corrosion resistance of premium Talon rotors with the proven stopping power of Hawk's HPS compound.
