Hawk HB108E.560 Blue 9012 Brake Pads for AP Racing/FF2000 Calipers

Vehicle Fitment

• Universal motorsports brake pad shape for AP Racing and Formula Ford 2000 brake applications
• Fits AP Racing caliper applications using the HB108 / D5 pad shape
• Commonly cross-listed for AP Racing, FF2000, and Lucas Girling race caliper applications
• Front or rear position depending on the vehicle's caliper and brake system configuration
• Not vehicle-specific; fitment must be confirmed by pad shape, caliper model, backing plate profile, and 0.560 in. thickness
• Designed for iron/metal rotors only
• Do not assign year/make/model fitment unless the exact caliper and pad shape are manually verified
• Fitment confirmed through 2025 as caliper-shape based. Year/make/model coverage unconfirmed at time of listing.

Product Description

The Hawk HB108E.560 is a Blue 9012 motorsports brake pad set built for race caliper applications that use the HB108 / D5 pad shape. Hawk identifies this part as a motorsports pad with intermediate initial bite and increased mid-mu characteristics, while cross-validated retailer sources describe it as an AP Racing / Formula Ford 2000 style application rather than a direct year/make/model vehicle pad. Because of that, fitment should be published by confirmed pad shape, caliper design, and 0.560-inch thickness, not by assumed vehicle application.

Blue 9012 is positioned as an entry-level endurance compound that is easier to bed in and delivers strong pad and rotor life compared with more aggressive sprint-focused race compounds. Hawk and trusted retailers describe it as a medium-torque race compound developed for road racing, rally, and circle track use. Additional published specs identify ferro-carbon friction material, integrally molded construction, and iron/metal rotor compatibility only.

This product does not change vehicle ride height, so no front or rear lift/drop height applies. Because HB108E.560 is a caliper-shape racing pad and not a direct-fit vehicle listing, always verify the exact AP Racing, FF2000, or Lucas Girling caliper application, backing plate profile, pad thickness, and rotor material before publishing any vehicle-specific compatibility.
