Using these Hawk brake pads is easy. Just replace your old front brake pads with these new ones following your vehicle's standard brake pad replacement procedure. When installing, make sure to clean the brake calipers and rotors to ensure proper contact. As for maintenance, regularly check the brake pads for wear. If you notice a significant reduction in stopping power or a squealing noise, it might be time to replace them. Also, keep the brakes clean to prevent dirt and debris from affecting their performance. When driving, try to avoid sudden and hard braking as much as possible, as this can cause unnecessary wear on the pads and increase the risk of brake fade.
