03-05 350Z/ 03-04 G35/ 03-05 G35X Brake Pads

Hawk Performance Ceramic brake pads were developed for those enthusiasts who want to improve stopping power without the annoying side effects sometimes associated with more aggressive pads. Hawk Performance Ceramic pads are engineered with a linear friction profile for maximum performance while reducing NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) for a smoother ride and ultra-low brake dust accumulation. In addition, you can expect Hawk ceramic brake pads to provide increased pad and rotor life and a more responsive ABS braking system. Hawk Performance Ceramic pads are intended for street use only.

Hawk HPS (High Performance Street) pads offer a tremendous improvement in braking distance over the 350Z & G35 OEM pads. Hawk's unique Ferro-Carbon formula was developed for street performance using the safety and quality of Aerospace and Motorsports severe-duty friction technology. The HPS compound offers a high coefficient of friction and can provide you 20-40% more stopping power and improved resistance to fading over OEM replacement pads. HPS's Ferro-Carbon compound provides you with increased stopping power, long-life, less dust and reduced noise compared to other after market performance brake pads. All Hawk Performance products provide a limited lifetime warranty, ensuring products to be free of defects from manufacturer's workmanship and materials. Hawk HPS pads are designed primarily for a daily driven 350Z or G35 but will hold up under light autocross duty as well.

Hawk HP+ pads are made for 350Z's and G35's that get driven to and on the track. The HP+ offers increased friction over the HPS, at the price of a little more noise (squealing) and more dust. Brake squeal is not uncommon in the HP+ due to the higher temperatures required for their peak friction, but once warmed up, this higher operating temperature will consistently allow your 350Z or G35 to brake quicker with minimal fade. These pads are excellent for the occasional HPDE/track day or for the very competitive autocross driver.

Axxis Ultimate brake pads are a Kevlar and Ceramic compound that offer far and away the best price to performance ratio currently available in a performance street pad. When installing these pads on your 350 or G35, you must be sure to properly bed the Ultimates in; this procedure is critical to achieve the optimum performance from this pad. Once bedded correctly, you can expect greatly improved initial bite, higher operating temperature range, and minimal rotor wear. Axxis Ultimates are know to create a noticeable amount of dust, but are also a very quiet pad. Axxis Ultimates are excellent for the moderately aggressive daily driver and are a capable autocross pad.

The Deluxe compound is an outstanding choice for those looking to improve performance over OE pads but also insist on very low levels of dust and minimal noise. The pad has a very linear torque output throughout its operating range, is very easy on rotors, and exhibits great pad life. Very low dust, low noise, low rotor wear. Street Only. Not for track use.
