Hawk 02-06 RSX (non-S) Front / 03-09 Civic Hybrid / 04-05 Civic Si Front Blue 9012 Race Brake Pads

Hawk Performance is well-known for making brake components that offer a step up in performance. This particular set of Blue 9012 race brake pads is designed for drivers who want more stopping power and better fade resistance than stock pads can offer. They fit a variety of popular sporty cars, including the Acura RSX, Honda Civic, and Honda CR-Z.

The Blue 9012 compound used in these pads is engineered to provide a higher coefficient of friction, which translates to 20 to 40 percent more stopping power compared to standard replacement pads. This means you get a more confident pedal feel, especially during spirited driving or when you need to brake hard. They also offer improved resistance to brake fade, so performance stays consistent even under demanding conditions. Plus, they generate less brake dust than many other performance pads, keeping your wheels cleaner.

These pads are a solid option for those looking to upgrade their braking system. They are designed for low to intermediate torque and perform best within a specific temperature range, making them suitable for track days or aggressive street use.
