Fitment Notes

• Rear axle application only. Requires OEM iron rear caliper with 38mm piston and 11.65" vented rear rotor.
• Does not fit 1994-2004 Mustang GT or V6 - those trims use a 10.5" solid rear rotor and require a different pad (HB183Z.660).
• No 2000 or 2002 SVT Cobra model year was produced; these years are excluded.
• Not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors; designed for iron/metal rotors only.
• Intended for street use only - not recommended for track or racing applications.
• No shims, hardware, or electronic wear sensor included.

Features

• Performance Ceramic (PC) compound reduces brake NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) for a near-silent street experience.
• Ultra-low dust output keeps wheels and calipers cleaner than stock or Ferro-Carbon pads.
• Linear friction profile allows ABS braking system to function at maximum effectiveness.
• Strong initial bite from cold - no warm-up required for effective daily street stopping power.
• Extended pad and rotor life compared to more aggressive performance compounds.
• Improved stopping power over OEM pads without the noise or dust trade-offs.
• Compatible with stock, slotted, and cross-drilled iron/metal rotors.
• Backed by Hawk's limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.

Product Description

The Hawk HB183Z.585 Performance Ceramic rear brake pads are engineered specifically for the 1994-2004 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra, 2001 Bullitt, and 2003-2004 Mach 1, fitting the OEM iron rear caliper with its 38mm piston and 11.65" vented rear rotor. For Cobra owners who prioritize a clean, quiet, and low-maintenance daily driving experience, the Performance Ceramic compound delivers a meaningful upgrade over factory pads - with improved stopping power, near-zero brake dust, and reduced brake noise - all without the harshness of a Ferro-Carbon or race-oriented compound.

The linear friction profile of the PC compound provides strong, predictable pedal response from cold and works in harmony with the Cobra's ABS system for controlled, confident stops. These pads are ideal for street-driven Cobras, Bullitts, and Mach 1s where clean wheels and daily comfort matter as much as braking performance. A short bed-in procedure is recommended after installation to properly seat the ceramic friction material to the rotor surface.
