Hawk HPS 5.0 Front Brake Pads - NA6 Miata (90-93)

The Hawk HB148B.560 is a front brake pad set in Hawk's HPS 5.0 compound for the 1990-1993 Mazda Miata (NA6, 1.6L). HPS 5.0 is a street performance pad with more brake torque than Hawk's HPS, and it fits the factory front calipers without modification. Hawk says HPS 5.0 can withstand light track use if you watch for signs of overheating, but it is not a race compound and cannot withstand prolonged race sessions at high temperatures.

• Hawk HPS 5.0 (High Performance Street 5.0) compound, code B in the part number: a Ferro-Carbon street performance compound that Hawk says gives the greatest stopping power and pedal feel without compromising ABS, with shorter stopping distances and improved performance under heavy braking
• Hawk temperature ratings: 100-550°F optimal range, 100-750°F operating range (Hawk HPS: 100-500°F optimal, 100-700°F operating)
• Hawk lists aggressive torque, designed to deliver high deceleration rates, smooth and predictable control, consistent brake release and great rotor and pad wear life
• Hawk states HPS 5.0 provides increased brake torque and operating temperature compared with Hawk HPS; it is cleaner than most OEM pads but produces more brake dust than Hawk Ceramic and HPS
• Pad thickness 0.560 in (14.2 mm): the number after the dot in Hawk part numbers is the pad thickness in inches (HB148B.560). For iron rotors only; not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors
• Hawk street bed-in: 6-10 moderate stops from 30-35 mph, then 2-3 harder stops from 40-45 mph without dragging the brakes, then let the brakes cool for 15 minutes

Fitment: Front axle. 1990-1993 Mazda Miata (NA, 1.6L), all trims. Not for 1994-1997 (1.8L) or 1999-2005 cars, which use a different front pad (Hawk HB149).
