Overview

The Hawk Performance Rear Race Brake Pads are high-performance braking components designed for enthusiasts seeking superior stopping power and durability on the track or during spirited driving. Crafted specifically for the rear axle of Ford Focus models from 2000 to 2007, these pads are engineered to deliver consistent, fade-resistant braking performance under demanding conditions. Whether you're a competitive racer or a serious street driver, these brake pads help improve your vehicle’s braking response, confidence, and overall safety by providing increased friction and thermal stability. Designed with a focus on high-temperature performance, these pads are ideal for those who push their vehicles to the limit, offering reliable stopping power even after repeated hard braking. Their robust construction ensures longevity and resistance to wear, making them a practical upgrade for performance-oriented drivers.

Key Features

These Hawk Performance Rear Race Brake Pads feature a high-friction, semi-metallic compound that enhances braking response and modulation. The pads are designed with a specialized friction material that maintains consistent performance across a wide temperature range, reducing fade and improving pedal feel. The precise engineering of the pad shape ensures optimal contact with the rotor, promoting even wear and maximizing braking efficiency. Their durable backing plates and advanced friction formulations help resist heat buildup and deformation, supporting sustained high-performance braking. Installation is straightforward for those familiar with brake component replacement, and these pads are engineered to fit seamlessly on your Ford Focus rear calipers.

Construction & Design

The brake pads are constructed from a semi-metallic friction material that balances high-temperature resistance with effective braking performance. The backing plates are made from high-strength steel, ensuring structural integrity during aggressive braking. The design incorporates chamfered edges and slots to reduce noise and vibration, enhancing overall driving comfort.

Driving Feel & Feedback

These race-grade brake pads provide a firm pedal feel and excellent modulation, giving you precise control during high-speed stops or tight cornering. Their high-friction compound ensures quick response and consistent braking power, helping you achieve confident, fade-free stops even under extreme conditions.

Installation & Fitment

Installation involves removing the existing rear brake pads and calipers, then replacing with these Hawk Performance pads. Proper bedding-in procedures are recommended to maximize performance and lifespan. Fitment should be verified against your vehicle’s specific model and year to ensure compatibility.

What’s Included

The package includes a set of rear brake pads designed specifically for Ford Focus models from 2000 to 2007, with hardware and shims included as needed for a complete installation.
