Product Description

The Hawk HB150E.555 Blue 9012 Front Brake Pads are performance-oriented pads engineered for classic Mazda vehicles from the 1970s and early 1980s including RX-2, RX-4, RX-7, and Pickup models. Featuring Hawk's medium-torque Blue 9012 friction compound, these pads deliver a strong, predictable braking response with excellent pad and rotor life in road racing, rally, and endurance driving environments.

Blue 9012 pads are designed to operate effectively across intermediate temperature ranges and provide easier bedding-in than many high-end race compounds, making them well-suited for competitive track sessions as well as spirited backroad performance. They are sized to fit OEM-style front calipers on the listed Mazda models and offer consistent, repeatable performance lap after lap.
