BRAKE PAD AP RACING REAR CALIPER BLUE 9012

The HAWK BRAKE Pad AP Racing Rear Caliper Blue 9012 compound brake pads deliver consistent stopping power for performance-oriented drivers and track enthusiasts who demand reliable intermediate torque characteristics across medium operating temperatures. Designed specifically for rear caliper applications, this universal set of four pads suits modified vehicles where factory brake systems have been upgraded or enhanced with multi-piston performance calipers. Whether you're running an AP Racing setup on a dedicated track car or a street-performance build with serious stopping requirements, these pads provide the thermal stability and friction consistency needed for repeated hard braking cycles.

The Blue 9012 compound is engineered to generate optimal friction across intermediate torque loads—ideal for vehicles that see spirited road driving and occasional track use without extreme abuse. This formulation maintains consistent coefficient of friction in the medium temperature range, preventing fade during sustained braking while resisting the glazing that can occur when softer compounds overheat. The rear-specific design accounts for weight transfer dynamics and reduced brake pressure at the rear axle, ensuring balanced deceleration and predictable modulation. At 1.35 lbs for the set, these pads integrate seamlessly with existing AP Racing and compatible universal rear calipers, offering a direct upgrade path for mechanics installing larger brake packages on street and competition vehicles.

Mechanics and performance enthusiasts upgrading from OEM or entry-level brake systems will appreciate the HAWK BRAKE Pad AP Racing Rear Caliper Blue 9012 compound for its proven compatibility with aftermarket caliper kits and multi-piston rear brake applications. Installation requires no modifications to stock hardware; simply remove old pads and seat new friction material according to your caliper manufacturer's break-in procedure. These pads suit dual-sport, time-attack, and weekend-warrior vehicles where reliability and repeatability matter more than extreme temperature extremes, making them an excellent choice for comprehensive brake system modernization.
