The Hawk Performance ER-1 front caliper brake pads are designed for high-performance applications, specifically targeting endurance racing. These pads feature a specialized compound developed to deliver a higher coefficient of friction compared to standard endurance pads, ensuring superior stopping power under demanding conditions. Constructed with a focus on thermal stability, the ER-1 pads maintain consistent friction performance across a temperature range reaching up to 1,600°F. Their design emphasizes excellent modulation and pedal communication, providing precise control and reliable braking feel during extended track sessions. The compound's durability and stability make these pads a dependable choice for racers seeking both performance and longevity.

Compatible with Mazda RX-7 models from 1988 to 1991, these pads are a direct replacement for the front calipers. They are engineered to fit the HB152D.540 caliper model, ensuring proper installation and optimal performance. Ideal for track use, high-performance street driving, or endurance events, these pads are built to withstand high thermal loads while maintaining consistent braking characteristics.
