Descrição do Produto: HB490Y.665 LTS Light Truck and SUV Street Brake Pads
Os pastilhas de freio HB490Y.665 LTS foram projetadas especificamente para atender às exigências de caminhonetes leves, SUVs e vans de até 1 tonelada. Com um desempenho de frenagem superior, essas pastilhas oferecem uma potência de parada de 20 a 40% maior em comparação com as pastilhas de freio padrão, mesmo sob cargas pesadas ou durante o reboque. Isso significa que, independentemente das condições de carga, você pode confiar na eficiência e na segurança proporcionadas por essas pastilhas.
A resistência ao desvanecimento é uma característica essencial das pastilhas HB490Y.665, que utilizam um material de fricção Ferro-Carbônico. Este material garante uma frenagem consistente em temperaturas que variam de 100 a 700 graus, permitindo que você mantenha o controle em qualquer situação. Além disso, as pastilhas foram projetadas para gerar baixo acúmulo de poeira, o que não só prolonga a vida útil das pastilhas e dos rotores, mas também mantém as rodas do seu veículo limpas por mais tempo.
Com um controle suave e confiável, as pastilhas HB490Y.665 oferecem uma mordida inicial forte e um desempenho de frenagem equilibrado, seja em temperaturas quentes ou frias. Isso proporciona uma experiência de condução mais segura e confortável, permitindo que você enfrente qualquer estrada com confiança.
- Instruções de Uso:
Para garantir o máximo desempenho das pastilhas de freio HB490Y.665, é fundamental seguir algumas instruções de uso. Antes da instalação, verifique se os rotores estão em boas condições e, se necessário, faça a retífica ou substituição. Durante a instalação, utilize um torque adequado nos parafusos de fixação e siga as recomendações do fabricante do veículo. Após a instalação, é aconselhável realizar um processo de “quebra” das pastilhas, que consiste em realizar frenagens suaves e progressivas para assentar corretamente as pastilhas nos rotores. Isso garantirá um desempenho ideal e prolongará a vida útil do sistema de frenagem.

These pads are marked w/ an FE friction rating, while pads bought at a local auto store have an FF friction rating stamped on the pad. If you aren’t aware, that’s a code the DOT gives brakes, independent of the manufacturer. Higher letter means better stopping power. These pads are close to 1/2 standard price of these pads, if you buy them elsewhere, and this seems to be why. They are not the same. If they aren’t fakes, they are a worse batch of material.

These are nice pads that stop very well. I believe the material is a bit dense, they last a long time but of course as any mechanic will point out the trade off is a little more rotor wear. I think it is a fair trade off. I use them on my pick up and while pulling trailers I notice they have very low brake fade qualities and will stop me on a dime when I demand it. Can’t put a price on stopping value when the idiots and maniacs are all around you and you’re towing a 7,000 pound trailer. In general I think Hawk makes a great product even though a bit pricey. Again, how do you put a price on safety? Would suggest them to others and will continue to use them. Oh, and BTW check out the different flavors to find the ones just right for your driving and vehicle type.

I purchased this pad for my Lexus GX460 – I needed rear pads and the title reflected that. These are in fact front pads. Double check the part # on Hawk’s website, I will do that moving forward. Hope this helps someone not make the same mistake I did.

When I bought my truck (2006 Tundra) I was aware that they had a reputation for weak brakes, and mine was no exception. I was considering a $2000 big brake swap (larger rotors and calipers, which would have required larger rims and tires). They were pretty bad, to the point that I quickly learned to avoid following too closely, to leave myself lots of room to stop.
Without making any other change, these pads made that problem go away – I now drive normally and have zero fear of not being able to stop. They pull down from any speed smoothly and with much less pedal pressure than whatever pad was on it.
They do not fade easily, and actually feel like the hotter they get the more grab they have. Also, very little dust, considering how much better they perform than generic off the shelf pads.
These are absolutely worth the price, especially when compared to a big-brake swap.

Nice and Quiet. They fit nicely and, although I don’t have quantifiable track data to confirm, they stop the big Lexus 470 SUV very well. No issues.

Use these for a 231mm tundra caliper and they fit great. They bite pretty good and only gets better when you apply more pressure. Definitely recommend if you want good stopping power. A little bit dusty but for the performance I don’t mind at all.

Long term review with some tips for early Tundras! I installed these Hawk Performance HB490Y.665 LTS on the front of my 2003 SR5 TRD Tundra just about 40,000 miles ago with new Brembo 25534 rotors (OEM style, nothing fancy) due to the common Toyota factory rotor warping issue on these trucks. I checked out the pads a few days ago and they have about 30% material left after 40k miles of a pretty even mix of city/highway driving. I’m a ‘spirited’ driver, so the brakes have gotten a good workout. Versus the factory Toyota pads (which are very good overall pads), the Hawk LTS pads have slightly less of a bite with light pedal pressure (easy, slow stopping). However, as you apply more pressure to the brake pedal (moderate to quick stops), the Hawk pads really start to shine over the Toyota pads as they provide greater bite and quicker/smoother stops. I haven’t noticed much of a difference in wheel dust vs OEM pads. I have not experienced any brake squeals with these Hawk pads so far. Overall, I’ve been happy with these pads and would recommend them over the Toyota factory pads due to the increase in moderate to heavy braking performance with the only drawback being a small reduction in pad life (the Toyota pads have a long life, it’s a trade-off). As a note my Tundra is fairly stock with 165k miles.
Some Tips! During the 2003 Tundra production (possibly Sequoias also), Toyota implemented a brake change. Depending on the date your truck was manufactured, it could have smaller pads (referenced as 4.7″ pads) or larger (5.3″) pads. Earlier trucks may have had the brakes upgraded as part of a Technical Service Bulletin so if you don’t know the complete history of the truck, it may have larger pads. Googling around will help you figure out how to verify which are the correct size for your truck (by reading the code stamped on the truck’s calipers or measuring a pad).
Does your Tundra have a strange rattling when going over bumps? Press lightly on the brakes and go over those bumps again. If the rattling stops with brake pedal pressure, that noise could be from the front brake pads rattling due to the type of spring Toyota used on the caliper-to-pads. It doesn’t provide enough support to hold the pads still and they rattle. Googling results will provide info on remedies. A common solution is to use ‘disc brake quiet’ (CRC Permatex), the thicker paste kind that will cure to help keep the back of the pads against the caliper.
Make sure to follow the ‘Break-in’ or ‘Bedding’ procedure after you replace any brake pads. This is a very important step for proper pad to rotor mating, performance and service life. Instructions should come with the pads. If not, googling will yield some.
I’ve used Hawk LTS pads on a number of my trucks and recently tried the Hawk HPS 5.0 on my C6 Corvette Z06. I’m a happy repeat customer!

Decent stopping ability and L O T S of dust. Performance is similar to the stock pads on my 2009 Toyota Tacoma. Wear, stopping and quality are there, just be prepared to clean your rims frequently, these pads are a dust bowl.

2006 toyota tundra. Replaced Akebono pads. Akebono pads are my favorite go-to pad, but they were at best, adequate if the truck was empty. Loaded, or when towing, they just couldn’t stop the truck. After 3 years of this, I purchased the hawk performance LTS pads. After one day of driving and letting them bed in, they are impressive. Easily double the braking force for given pedal pressure over the akebono pads. The akebonos were very good at not dusting – I’m not expecting that from these – you have to give something up.
Being semi metallic, I believe (the box mentions ferrite composition), they perform better once warm. When cold, they are at least as good as the akebonos, so it’s not as dramatic as some of the performance pads out there. Yes, these are a little pricey compared to other offerings, but I am well-pleased with them.

Pads have great initial bite. No noticeable fade when towing. More brake dust noticed as compared to OEM pads. Time will tell how wear life is.
