Your brake system’s WEAKEST link | Pit Stop w/ Hawk Performance and Power Stop Brakes


While at SEMA 2024, we had some questions about brakes that we knew could only be answered by one of the industry’s very best. So, we stopped by the Power Stop booth to chat with Jake W. about brake upgrade kits and how to choose the right set up.

We also met with Mitch of Hawk Performance, and avid racer Dennis C. of Auto Cannon fame as well! These guys broke down exactly what was needed for questions like:

“I take my daily driver to the track sometimes, how should I choose a brake setup?”

“How does a brake pad with a lot of initial bite affect overall stopping power?”

I’ve upgraded my pads & rotors… how else can I increase braking performance?”

If you have any other questions for Hawk Performance or PowerStop Brakes, COMMENT BELOW, and make sure to follow them at @hawkperformance / @powerstopbrakes As always, thank you for watching, and please subscribe!
