Just wanted to confirm before I order, the base front brakes that FFR sells are 2004 Mustang GT, correct?

Product Code: HWKHB274B.610F (HAWK PERFORMANCE HPS 5.0 BRAKE PADS - FRONT)

Hawk offers:
HPS
HPS 5.0
HP Plus
Ceramic


I had the HPS before, on an earlier Mustang brake, but upgrading to the larger / later Mustang and thought I'd also upgrade to the newer (HPS 5.0) pads. I've heard the HP Plus creates a lot of brake dust.

Just confirming everything.

(btw, HawkPads is offering a 40% off coupon (40spring2020) and a 10% rebate! but only good until 5/18)


Please confirm I have the correct brakes and the HPS 5.0 is better) Thanks!

The 610 are front brakes. The 50 has a slightly higher heat range the the straight HPS

Can confirm the HP+ pads are very dirty.

Thanks Kevin, that confirmed my thoughts and I had heard the HP+ was more dust than I cared for.
I ordered the HPS 5.0 yesterday.

I just switched to Akebono Ceramic pads from the HP+ due to brake dust, not quite as aggressive but plenty of grip even for a track day....and very very low dust.
