Hawk 09-11 Nissan GT-R Blue 9012 Race Rear Brake Pads
The Hawk Performance Blue 9012 Rear Brake Pads (HB193E.670) deliver championship-level stopping power for 2009–2011 Nissan GT-R R35 models, featuring Hawk’s legendary medium/high-torque ferro-carbon race compound that provides instant bite, consistent pedal feel, and fade-free performance from 250°F to 1000°F, outbraking OEM pads and street compounds during repeated hard stops on track or canyon runs. Engineered specifically for the R35’s massive Brembo calipers, the Blue 9012 formulation offers superior modulation and rotor compatibility for club racers and time-attack drivers who demand predictable threshold braking without the harshness or dust of full ceramic materials. With 0.670-inch thickness for extended life and included hardware clips for quiet operation, these pads remain the go-to choice for GT-R owners seeking race-proven performance that outperforms generic track pads in heat cycling and longevity across multiple sessions.
