The Hawk Performance ER-1 Rear Brake Pads are high-performance components designed for endurance racing applications. Engineered to deliver a higher coefficient of friction than standard endurance pads, these brake pads provide exceptional stopping power and consistent pedal modulation. Constructed with a specialized compound that offers improved friction stability across a thermal range up to 1,600°F, they ensure reliable performance during extended track sessions. The ER-1 pads are formulated to balance durability and high friction, making them suitable for demanding racing environments while maintaining a competitive lifespan.

These brake pads are specifically designed for the 2008–2011 Mazda RX-8, fitting the rear axle as a direct replacement. They are ideal for track use, offering enhanced braking performance under high thermal stress. Installation is straightforward as they are bolt-on replacements for the stock pads, with no additional modifications required. The kit includes the necessary pads for the rear brakes, providing a reliable upgrade for enthusiasts seeking improved endurance and consistent braking during spirited driving or racing events.

Overview
