• Not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors; designed for iron/metal rotors only.
• Requires a proper race bed-in procedure before competitive use.

Features

• Blue 9012 compound is the #1-selling SCCA pad material - proven in entry-level endurance, IT, Production, and formula car racing worldwide.

• Excellent brake modulation and release characteristics for controlled braking on technical road circuits and rally stages.
• Wide operating temperature range of 250-1000°F with an optimal window of 350-800°F - effective across road racing and multi-pace rally conditions.
• Good pad and rotor wear life for a true race compound, suited to endurance and sprint event formats.
• Increased mid-mu characteristics deliver consistent performance as pad temperature builds across a session.
• Backed by Hawk's limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.

Product Description

The Hawk HB468E.492 Blue 9012 rear brake pads are engineered exclusively for the rear axle of the 2004-2005 Mazda Mazdaspeed Miata - the turbocharged NB Miata variant - using the FMSI D1002 rear caliper that is unique to this model. This is a critical fitment distinction: the Mazdaspeed uses a different rear caliper than other Sport Suspension NB Miatas, and this pad is not interchangeable with the HB442 series pads used on non-Mazdaspeed sport suspension variants. For a complete Blue 9012 track setup, pair with the HB431E.606 front pad on the D890 front caliper.

The Blue 9012 compound is Hawk's most versatile and proven road racing formula, well-suited to the Mazdaspeed Miata's lightweight character and the added braking demands of the turbocharged 1.8L engine. Its wide effective temperature window, progressive initial bite, and excellent modulation make it a top choice for SCCA club racing, time attack, track days, and gravel rally. With good pad and rotor wear life for a genuine race compound, these pads are practical for both sprint and endurance racing formats. A proper race bed-in procedure is required after installation, and these pads are not intended for street driving.
