Hawk 2001-2001 Infiniti G20 (Made On or After 12-1-01) HPS 5.0 Rear Brake Pads

If you're looking to get more out of your Mazda RX-8's braking system, these HPS 5.0 rear brake pads from Hawk Performance are a solid option. They're designed to give you a noticeable improvement over your factory pads, especially when you're pushing your car a bit harder. Hawk's HPS compound is well-known for its ability to handle higher temperatures without losing effectiveness, meaning you get more consistent braking performance, even during spirited driving.

What this means for you is a stronger pedal feel and shorter stopping distances. The compound is formulated to provide a higher coefficient of friction, which translates to about 20 to 40 percent more stopping power compared to standard pads. Plus, they're made to be gentle on your rotors and generate less brake dust, keeping your wheels cleaner. They're also designed to work well even when your brakes are hot, reducing the chances of fade and keeping your braking reliable.
