HawkPerformance HB561Y.710 LTS Brake Pad

I began getting brake shudder/vibration on my vehicle last summer, so I replaced the OEM brakes. New Centric Rotors (premium on the front) all around with Hawk LTS pads.The Hawk LTS pads made a marked improvement is braking feel and performance over the oem pads that came on my 2015 GMC Sierra 1500. The LTS pads make it easier to modulate braking and provide for less pedal pressure to achieve desired braking. I changed the rotors and pads around 6 months ago. In spite of having greased the back side of the pads, i did begin getting brake squeal from one or more of the rear pads recently. I disassembed, cleaned, and applied CRC anti brake squeal (rather than standard caliper grease) between the hawk-provided shims and the pads and on the caliper pressure points at just the rear of the vehicle and it has entirely eliminated brake squeal... If the front brakes make noise, I'll do the same. It's good to let the CRC stuff set up a little before assembling. Going forward, I will use the CRC stuff over standard caliper grease for the pressure points because it sticks around (pun intended), and continue using standard caliper grease on the caliper slides and grooves.In short, the LTS pads definitely require anti-squeal effort, and may dust a little more (although they are not overly dusty) than the ceramics that came on the vehicle, but I'll take the braking improvement over the OEM pads anyday. Would buy again.

So far better braking cold or warm then baer pads i had on that only lasted 10,000 miles.The pads i took off were missing chunks and didnt work good at all.These pads are alot better make no noise at all and i dont see any brake dust on my rims.These were used on a 2004 tahoe with the 2008 tahoe upgraded brake package.

These went on my 2008 Tahoe Hybrid without any issues. They definitely provide greater bite and less fade then the stock pads that were on there. This was especially noticeable while towing 5,000 pounds this past weekend. I don't know how long they'll as I've only had them on a couple of weeks.They are more expensive then your typical Autozone / Advanced Auto Parts pads but they look beefier and they definitely feel better.Absolutely change both the front and rear at the same time. Don't use stock pads on one end and these on the other, it's a very bad idea.

Pads are better than stock. Only have about 1000 miles on em. So far no noise or brake dust. I'm happy with them but they do not blow me away performance wise. (Note - 2012 silverado 1500 only comes with discs on the front and that's all I installed.)

Have had these installed for the last three months. I drive moderately aggressive. Haven't noticed a difference in stopping power. As one other reviewer noted, these pads generate a LOT of brake dust. When it's time to replace these, I would not reorder these again.

These are awesome, so happy I bought these and will use them always. No track test but a serious head jerk when I was stopping normally. Definitely gripping harder and stopping shorter... if these even give me the 2ft that keeps me from an accident they are worth more than the difference from basic pads!!

A little dustier than stock. Better braking performance.

Great product. You can see the difference between this product and others
