Key Features

The Hawk Performance DTC-60 Race Rear Brake Pads incorporate several advanced features designed to optimize braking performance and durability in racing environments:

• High-Performance Friction Material: The DTC-60 compound provides extremely high deceleration rates, making it a popular choice among racers and enthusiasts seeking maximum stopping power.
• Superior Modulation and Release: Engineered for excellent brake feel, these pads offer precise control over brake engagement and smooth release, reducing the risk of brake fade during intense driving sessions.
• Low Rotor Wear: Despite their aggressive friction characteristics, the pads are formulated to minimize abrasive rotor wear, helping extend rotor life and maintain consistent braking performance.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for NASCAR, modifieds, ARCA, Super Late Models, pavement circle track, and off-road racing, as well as lightweight street applications with or without ABS systems.
• Split Friction Compatibility: Recommended for use with DTC-70 pads when split friction between axles is desired, allowing for tailored brake balance and performance.
• Temperature Resistance: Designed to perform reliably under high temperatures typical of racing conditions, ensuring consistent brake response even during prolonged use.
• Low Dust and Noise: Formulated to produce minimal brake dust and operate quietly, enhancing the overall driving experience.

Construction & Design

The DTC-60 brake pads feature a high-friction, race-grade compound bonded to a durable backing plate. The friction material is engineered to withstand extreme heat and stress, maintaining consistent performance across a wide temperature range. The pads are designed with a precise fit for the specified Chevrolet Camaro and Cadillac CTS rear brake calipers, ensuring easy installation and optimal contact with the rotor.

Hawk Performance utilizes advanced manufacturing processes, including high-pressure molding and quality control standards, to produce pads that deliver reliable, repeatable results. The pads' design emphasizes excellent modulation, quick pad bed-in, and reduced brake fade, making them a dependable choice for competitive racing and high-performance street driving.

Installation & Fitment

Designed as a direct replacement for the rear brake pads on Chevrolet Camaro (2010–2015) and Cadillac CTS (2008–2014) models equipped with JE5 or J55 brakes, these pads are a bolt-on upgrade. Installation is straightforward for those familiar with brake service, with no modifications required.
