The Hawk HB629B.565 is a rear disc brake pad in the HPS 5.0 street compound, a premium replacement that the manufacturer positions for American muscle cars, European touring sedans and tuners. Its main draw over stock pads is braking behavior under load: the manufacturer highlights aggressive torque, great rotor and pad wear life, and consistent brake release characteristics. Economy pads tend to favor quiet, low-cost operation over that kind of repeatable bite during repeated hard stops.
The manufacturer's application list for this part number is built around Toyota models, including the Prius, Corolla and Yaris, so Scion xB owners should confirm the year and engine match on the manufacturer's fitment tool before ordering. The pads are designed to work with Iron/Metal rotors, and the manufacturer notes that all Hawk Performance compounds are not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors, so check your rotor material first. Searches for an HPS 5.0 rear pad, HB629B.565 fitment, or an iron-rotor street and track pad upgrade all point to this listing.
No. The manufacturer states that Hawk Performance compounds are not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors, and these pads are designed for iron or metal rotors.
