The Hawk HB688F.710 is a High Performance Street (HPS) pad in 0.710-inch thickness, built on Hawk's HPS friction compound for drivers who want more braking capability than factory pads provide. The product name ties it to Alcon, AP Racing and Baer big-brake calipers, which makes it a fit for owners upgrading a multi-piston front setup on a performance street car or autocross machine. The manufacturer positions the compound as delivering stronger stopping power, firmer pedal feel and higher thermal capacity than OE pads, with less dust. If your use includes sustained track sessions, confirm suitability with the manufacturer before committing.
Hawk states these pads are designed for iron or metal rotors and are not compatible with carbon ceramic discs, so verify your rotor material before ordering. Because pad thickness and caliper fit are specific, match your caliper part number to the manufacturer's application data before installation. Follow the manufacturer's bed-in procedure after fitting, since proper bedding matters for consistent pedal feel. Enthusiasts searching for HPS street pads, Alcon or AP Racing big brake pads, 0.710 thickness Hawk pads, or low-dust performance pads for iron rotors will find this part matches those needs.
