DTC-60 Racing Brake Pad Set

The Hawk DTC-60 brake pad set is engineered for high-performance racing applications demanding extreme deceleration rates and increased downforce. Designed with a ferro-carbon friction material (DTC 60), these pads provide superior release and torque control, making them a popular choice for lightweight front axle setups, with or without ABS. They are characterized by very low abrasive rotor wear and operate effectively across a wide temperature range of 400-1600°F, with an optimal performance window between 700-1100°F. This brake pad set is integrally molded and includes electronic wear indicators and shims for proper installation. It is crucial to note that all Hawk Performance compounds are not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors; these pads are designed exclusively for use with Iron/Metal rotors. The DTC-60 compound is specifically recommended for racing use and has been applied in various motorsports including NASCAR, ARCA, Super Late models, pavement circle track, Pro 2/Pro 4 Off Road Trucks/Pro Lite, Sports Car/GT/GS, and Open Wheel/Formula series. Proper bedding-in procedures are essential for optimal performance and longevity. The instructions detail a multi-step process involving controlled braking from various speeds to heat the pads and rotors, followed by a cooling period. It is critical not to drag brakes during this procedure or hold the pedal while stopped. Additionally, the product is manufactured in the United States and is noted as a 'Performance' quality item.
