Product Description

The Hawk HB453E.585 Blue 9012 front brake pads are purpose-built for serious racing and performance driving. Engineered as an endurance-style racing compound, these pads offer a medium-high torque level with excellent modulation, ideal for road racing, rally, and high-performance track use. The intermediate initial bite ensures smooth engagement, while the increased mid-mu characteristics maintain consistent braking performance under sustained loads.

Fitting a wide array of high-performance vehicles - including Subaru WRX STI, Mitsubishi Evolution VIII/IX/X, Honda Civic Type R (FK8), Chevy Camaro Brembo-equipped models, and many others - this front axle pad set is a direct bolt-in replacement for OE Brembo calipers. With a thickness of 0.585" and full shim kit included, they deliver precise fitment and simplified installation. Note: Blue 9012 pads are racing-only; high dust and noise levels may not suit street-driven cars. Proper bedding and iron rotor surfaces are required.
