The Hawk Performance ER-1 brake pads are high-performance front components designed for the Cadillac XLR from 2004 to 2009. Engineered for endurance racing, these pads feature a specialized compound that delivers a higher coefficient of friction compared to standard endurance pads, ensuring superior stopping power under demanding conditions. Constructed with a focus on thermal stability, they maintain consistent friction performance across a wide temperature range up to 1,600°F. The ER-1 pads provide excellent modulation and pedal communication, making them suitable for high-stress driving scenarios. Their durable formulation offers an optimal balance of performance and lifespan, making them a reliable choice for racing and spirited driving.

These brake pads are a direct replacement for the front brakes on 2004–2009 Cadillac XLR models. They are designed to fit stock calipers and require no additional modifications for installation. Ideal for track use, autocross, or aggressive street driving, the ER-1 pads are built to withstand high temperatures and repeated braking cycles. The kit includes the necessary pads for the front axle, ensuring a straightforward upgrade. Suitable for enthusiasts seeking improved braking performance and consistency, these pads enhance safety and control during high-performance driving.

Overview

ER-1 has been developed by Hawk Performance for the endurance racing market with a simple goal; offer a higher coefficient of friction than competing endurance pads while maintaining matched or improved lifespan. Years of testing across America’s most prestigious races has resulted in a well-rounded compound that offers ideal modulation and pedal communication, with ground breaking friction stability across a thermal range as high as 1,600°F. This consistency of performance, hour after hour, makes it ideal for not only endurance racing, but HPDE, track days, time trials and even sprint racing.
