Product Description

The Hawk HB148E.560 Blue 9012 Front Brake Pads are engineered for drivers who demand a balance of endurance performance and controllable braking characteristics on both road and track. Built with the Blue 9012 compound, these pads deliver a medium-torque, consistent friction profile with an intermediate initial bite and excellent release control, making them suited for motorsport environments like road racing, rally, and circle track.

Designed specifically for select early 1990s compact sport and performance vehicles, these front pads fit the Mazda Miata, Geo Storm, and Isuzu Impulse when equipped with compatible calipers. The 0.560" pad thickness and FMSI D525 shape ensure a proper fit and consistent engagement with iron/metal rotors. These race-oriented pads are not suitable for carbon ceramic rotors.

Whether tackling track days or spirited driving on twisty backroads, the HB148E.560 race compound pads provide confidence-inspiring braking performance with stability over extended use and reduced fade under hard stops. Their design emphasizes endurance and modulation, ideal for competitive and enthusiast applications where consistent braking feel and pad life are priorities.
