The Hawk Performance ER-1 front 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 than 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 wide temperature range, up to 1,600°F. Their formulation provides excellent modulation and pedal communication, making them ideal for racing and spirited driving. The durable design aims to balance high friction with extended lifespan, reducing the need for frequent replacements during intense driving sessions.
These brake pads are compatible with 1997–1998 Acura CL models and are intended as a direct replacement for OEM components. They are suitable for use in street and track environments where high thermal performance and consistent braking are critical. Installation involves replacing the existing front pads with these Hawk ER-1 units, which are engineered to fit the specified vehicle without additional modifications. The kit includes the necessary pads, offering a reliable upgrade for drivers seeking enhanced braking performance and durability in demanding conditions.

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.
