Hawk Performance HB972Z.660 Ceramic Front Brake Pads Toyota GR Supra 3.0L 21-24

Vehicle Fitment

• 2021-2024 Toyota GR Supra (Base, Premium, A91 Edition, A91-MT Edition, 45th Anniversary Edition, 3.0L I6 Turbo B58, RWD, w/ 4-Piston Brembo Front Caliper / 348mm Front Rotor, Front)

Fitment Notes

• This pad is position-specific: Front axle only. Rear axle applications require a separate Hawk part number.
• Pad thickness is 0.660 in (16.76mm). Verify your existing front pad thickness before ordering to confirm compatibility.
• This pad is designed specifically for the Toyota GR Supra 3.0L equipped with the Brembo 4-piston front caliper and 348mm (13.7") front rotor - standard on all 3.0L trims from 2021 onward. Do NOT order if your vehicle has the single-piston front caliper with 330mm rotor - a different pad number is required for that fitment.
• The GR Supra 2.0L (4-cylinder) uses smaller 330mm front rotors with a single-piston front caliper and requires a different pad. This pad will NOT fit the 2.0L.
• Compatible with iron/steel rotors only. Not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors.
• Performance Ceramic is Hawk's quietest, lowest-dust street compound and is fully compatible with street, HPDE, and light track driving. Unlike DTC-compound pads (HB972G or HB972U), it does not require a dedicated heat-cycle bed-in on track and is effective from cold ambient temperatures.

Features

• Hawk Performance Ceramic (Z-compound) - a premium, ultra-low dust, ultra-quiet ceramic formulation engineered for the Toyota GR Supra 3.0L owner who wants dramatically cleaner wheels and quieter front brake behavior than OEM pads provide, while retaining improved stopping power and ABS system compatibility on the vehicle's Brembo 4-piston front calipers.
• Dramatically reduces front brake dust output compared to OEM Brembo pads - keeping 19" or 20" front wheels, caliper faces, and wheel faces noticeably cleaner between detail intervals, a meaningful benefit for a vehicle where wheel cleanliness is a core part of the ownership experience.
• Engineered to reduce brake NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) - delivering Hawk's quietest front brake compound, eliminating the cold squeal and brake noise that can develop with OEM or ferro-carbon street pads on the Supra's large 4-piston Brembo setup.
• Linear friction profile across the full operating range ensures that the GR Supra's Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), ABS, and Active Differential operate at maximum effectiveness - the ceramic compound's consistent friction coefficient allows the braking system's electronics to modulate pressure predictably at all temperatures.
• Improved stopping power over OEM front pads - the Performance Ceramic compound delivers measurably greater front brake torque than factory pads without the dust, noise, or temperature sensitivity trade-offs of a performance ferro-carbon compound.
• Rotor-friendly formulation extends front rotor service life compared to more aggressive street or race compounds - reducing brake system maintenance costs on a vehicle where front rotor replacement is a significant expense.
• Direct OE-fit replacement for the GR Supra 3.0L's 4-piston Brembo front caliper - installs exactly like the factory front pads with no bracket, hardware, or rotor modifications required.
• Manufactured by Hawk Performance, a recognized leader in high-performance friction products, backed by a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.

Product Description

The Hawk Performance HB972Z.660 Performance Ceramic front brake pad is the daily-driver and HPDE upgrade engineered specifically for the 4-piston Brembo front caliper system of the 2021-2024 Toyota GR Supra 3.0L. Sharing its OE pad geometry with the HB972 family - which spans compounds from Performance Ceramic through DTC-60 and DTC-70 - the HB972Z.660 addresses a very specific frustration of GR Supra ownership: the factory Brembo pads generate a disproportionate amount of brake dust relative to the car's premium positioning, caking the front wheels grey within a matter of days in normal street driving. The Performance Ceramic Z-compound eliminates this problem at the source, replacing the OEM ferro-carbon pad material with a ceramic formulation that produces a fraction of the dust while delivering quieter, smoother brake operation and improved stopping power over the factory pad.

Unlike the DTC-compound variants in the HB972 lineup, the Performance Ceramic is designed to work effectively from ambient temperature - no warm-up lap or heat-cycle bed-in procedure is required before normal street braking. Its linear friction profile is optimized for the precise operation of the GR Supra's VSC stability control, ABS, and Active Differential systems, allowing Brembo 4-piston front brake modulation to remain fully predictable whether the front calipers are cold at the first stop light of the morning or moderately warm after a canyon run. The operating range of 100-650°F places the ceramic compound comfortably within the thermal envelope of spirited street driving and light HPDE track sessions, making the HB972Z.660 the most versatile single compound in the HB972 family for an owner who primarily drives the Supra on the street but occasionally takes it to an open track day.

Two important fitment confirmations are required before ordering. This pad is built exclusively for the 4-piston Brembo front caliper with 348mm rotor fitted to the GR Supra 3.0L from 2021 onward - it will not fit the single-piston front caliper with 330mm rotor found on the 2.0L or certain earlier 3.0L configurations, which use a different pad profile. Confirming your front caliper type (4-piston fixed Brembo, painted red on 3.0L trims with the "Toyota Supra" logo script) and front rotor diameter (348mm / 13.7") before ordering is strongly recommended. Pad thickness is 0.660 in (16.76mm) - always cross-check against your existing front pads before installation. This pad is for the front axle only; rear applications require a separate part number.
