Hawk 17-18 Mercedes-Benz E43 AMG 4Matic 3.0L Performance Ceramic Street Rear Brake Pads
The Hawk Performance Ceramic Rear Brake Pads (HB911Z.654) deliver luxury-level stopping power for 2017–2018 Mercedes-Benz E43 AMG 4Matic, engineered with an ultra-low-dust ceramic compound that provides 20–40% more bite than stock pads while virtually eliminating wheel dusting and noise for daily-driven W213 E-Class models that demand premium braking without the maintenance of OEM or generic ceramic alternatives. Formulated for smooth, linear engagement from cold to 900°F, these pads offer consistent pedal feel and fade-free performance during spirited mountain runs or urban traffic, with rotor-friendly composition that extends iron rotor life compared to aggressive compounds. The 0.654-inch thickness ensures long wear intervals, and included hardware clips guarantee quiet operation, providing E43 owners a direct bolt-on upgrade that outperforms factory pads in modulation, heat management, and cleanliness across wet, dry, or high-speed conditions.
