Product Description

The Hawk HB179Z.630 Performance Ceramic rear brake pads are built for drivers of the 1990-1996 Nissan 300ZX and 2006-2007 Subaru Impreza WRX who want improved stopping power without the noise, dust, or harshness associated with more aggressive compounds. Using Hawk's Performance Ceramic (PC) formulation, these pads are engineered to meet and exceed the low-dust, low-noise standards that daily drivers and performance street car owners demand. The linear friction profile ensures consistent, predictable braking while allowing the vehicle's ABS system to function at peak efficiency.

Whether you're upgrading a twin-turbo 300ZX or a turbocharged AWD WRX, the HB179Z.630 delivers a clean, quiet, and confidence-inspiring brake upgrade over OEM pads. These pads are also a popular choice as a direct replacement for OEM Brembo packages where reduced dust accumulation on wheels is the top priority. For best results, perform a proper bed-in procedure after installation to transfer the ceramic friction film evenly across the rotor surface.
