The Hawk Performance ER-1 brake pads for the BMW 325 from 1986 to 1987 are high-performance front brake components designed for endurance racing applications. Engineered to deliver a higher coefficient of friction than standard endurance pads, these pads provide improved stopping power and consistent pedal feel under demanding conditions. Constructed with a specialized compound that offers excellent 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 for optimal modulation and pedal communication, making them suitable for competitive racing and spirited driving. Their durable design aims to balance high friction with longevity, reducing fade and maintaining performance over multiple laps.
These brake pads are a direct replacement for the front brakes on the specified BMW model, fitting 1986–1987 325s. They are intended for use in racing, track days, or high-performance driving where consistent braking performance is critical. Installation involves replacing the existing pads with these Hawk ER-1 units, which are compatible with the stock calipers and mounting hardware. The set includes the necessary pads for the front axle, offering a straightforward upgrade for enthusiasts seeking enhanced braking capabilities. Suitable for street or track use, these pads provide a reliable, high-friction solution for demanding driving environments.

Overview
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.
