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

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.
