Product Description

Hawk Performance HB453D.585 ER-1 Front Brake Pads deliver medium-to-high torque and consistent friction needed for serious performance driving. Engineered with Hawk's ER-1 compound, these pads excel in endurance racing, high-performance driving events (HPDE), and spirited street use where strong bite and fade resistance are required. The ER-1 formula emphasizes longer pad and rotor life without sacrificing braking performance, making it a versatile choice for vehicles equipped with high-capacity Brembo or equivalent calipers.

Designed to fit a broad list of performance cars with matching caliper and pad profile (including Subaru WRX STI, Mitsubishi Evolution, Chevrolet Camaro with Brembo brakes, and other high-performance platforms), these brake pads provide exceptional pedal feel and repeatable stopping power. They are optimized for use with iron or metal rotors and are not compatible with carbon ceramic brakes, which require specific friction materials. Installation should follow Hawk's bedding-in procedure for best performance and longevity.
