Hawk 2003-2004 Chevrolet Corvette 5.7L Rear ER-1 Brake Pads
The Hawk HB248D.650 ER-1 Brake Pads are high-performance racing friction designed specifically for the rear brakes on 2003-2004 Chevrolet Corvette models (including 50th Anniversary Edition), as well as select earlier and later Corvette generations. Part of Hawk's DTC (Dynamic Torque Control) family, the ER-1 compound delivers aggressive initial bite, high torque output, and excellent modulation for track, autocross, or spirited street use. With a 0.650" thickness and low metallic formula, these pads provide superior fade resistance, consistent pedal feel, and low dust/noise compared to full race pads. Ideal for Corvette owners upgrading to track-ready braking while maintaining street drivability. Note: ER-1 is optimized for high-heat conditions; pair with high-performance rotors and proper bedding for best results.
