• Superior Modulation and Release: Designed for excellent brake pedal feel, allowing precise control during aggressive braking or delicate maneuvers.
• Low Rotor Wear: Formulated to produce minimal abrasive wear on rotors, helping to preserve your braking system over time.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for NASCAR/NASCAR modified, ARCA, Super Late models, pavement circle track, Pro 2/Pro 4 Off Road, and other racing or high-performance street uses.
• Temperature Resistance: Capable of handling high operating temperatures without fade, ensuring consistent performance during extended use.
• Low Dust Production: Designed to produce less brake dust, keeping wheels cleaner and reducing maintenance.

Construction & Design

The Hawk Performance Race Rear Brake Pads feature a meticulously engineered friction material bonded to a durable backing plate. The compound is formulated for high-temperature stability and consistent performance under extreme conditions. The pads are precision-machined to ensure perfect fitment and optimal contact with the rotor, promoting even pad wear and reliable braking response. Their design incorporates advanced metallurgy and bonding techniques to withstand the rigors of racing and spirited street driving, providing long-lasting durability and consistent modulation.
