• 2008-2009 Honda S2000 CR (AP2, 2.2L F22C1 I4, RWD) - Front
• 2006-2011 Honda Civic Si (FG2, 2.0L K20Z3 I4, FWD) - Front
• 2002-2004 Acura RSX Type-S (DC5, 2.0L K20A2 I4, FWD) - Front
• 2005-2006 Acura RSX Type-S (DC5, 2.0L K20Z1 I4, FWD) - Front

Fitment Notes

• Position: Front axle only for all applications listed above.
• FMSI Caliper Reference: D829.
• Not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors. For use with iron/metal rotors only.
• The Honda S2000 used the 2.0L F20C engine from 2000-2003 (AP1) and switched to the 2.2L F22C1 from 2004-2009 (AP2), including the CR variant. Both share the same front caliper and are fully covered by this fitment.
• The Civic Si fitment covers the 8th-generation FG2 chassis (2006-2011) only. Earlier Civic Si generations use a different, smaller front caliper and are not compatible.
• The RSX Type-S fitment is for the Type-S trim only. The base Acura RSX uses a smaller front caliper requiring a different pad.
• DTC-30 is a motorsport compound. While it operates effectively from cold and has been used on street-driven vehicles where braking performance is the priority, it is a race-classification pad that will produce more brake dust and noise than street compounds. It is not suited for comfortable daily driving.
• On the S2000, DTC-30 is also commonly run on the rear axle paired with DTC-60 at the front as a split-friction race setup - this part number covers the front axle only in that configuration.
• OE shims are included with this pad for all listed OEM caliper applications.
• A separate rear pad is required for a complete front and rear upgrade on all listed vehicles.

Features

• DTC-30 Ferro-Carbon compound - Hawk's controllable-torque, multi-purpose motorsport formulation delivering smooth consistent feel and bite from cold through the full operating range, proven across dirt track, gravel rally, drag racing, autocross, and circuit racing applications.
• Excellent cold effectiveness - Unlike higher-torque race compounds that require sustained heat to reach peak performance, the DTC-30 provides strong, consistent front brake feel from the very first stop of a session - making it particularly well-suited for autocross, short-course racing, and events where prolonged warm-up is not possible.
• Controllable, predictable torque - The DTC-30's defining characteristic is its smooth, manageable front brake torque output, which gives S2000, Civic Si, and RSX Type-S drivers the precision to trail-brake and modulate brake pressure at corner entry without the harsh initial bite associated with more aggressive DTC-series compounds.
• Superior release characteristics - The DTC-30 provides clean, linear front brake release at corner exit, supporting stable power application and neutral handling balance - qualities that are especially valued in the S2000's rear-wheel-drive chassis and the Civic Si and RSX Type-S's front-wheel-drive layouts.
• Very low rotor wear - Despite its motorsport classification, the DTC-30 produces significantly lower abrasive rotor wear than harder race compounds, extending front disc service life across race weekends, track days, and autocross seasons without premature rotor replacement.
• Wide operating temperature range - 100-1,200°F total range with a 100-800°F optimal window, giving the front brakes consistent friction from ambient cold through sustained high-load operation in extended racing conditions.
• Multi-purpose motorsport versatility - Proven effective in dirt circle track, gravel rally, NASCAR modified, drag racing, trophy trucks, pro buggies, and road course applications, with the S2000 and RSX Type-S specifically called out as platforms where the DTC-30 is a recommended front compound choice.
• Effective as both a front and rear compound - On lighter RWD platforms like the S2000 and Miata, Hawk recommends DTC-30 at the rear axle when paired with DTC-60 at the front. This part (HB361W.622) covers the front axle on listed OEM caliper applications.
• 100% asbestos, lead, chromium, cadmium, and antimony free - Manufactured in an ISO-certified facility to strict quality and environmental standards.

Product Description

The Hawk HB361W.622 DTC-30 front brake pads fit the front axle of the Honda S2000 (2000-2009, including the AP2 CR), 8th-generation Honda Civic Si FG2 (2006-2011), and Acura RSX Type-S DC5 (2002-2006), all sharing the FMSI D829 front caliper. The DTC-30 compound is Hawk's controllable-torque multi-purpose motorsport formulation - positioned below the DTC-60 in outright torque output but with a significantly wider operating range, excellent cold effectiveness, and a smooth, predictable pedal feel that makes it a versatile choice across autocross, circuit racing, gravel rally, drag racing, and dirt track applications.

What distinguishes the DTC-30 on these Honda and Acura platforms is its cold bite and modulation. The compound delivers consistent front brake feel from the very first stop without a heat warm-up cycle, making it an ideal front pad for autocross events where session lengths are short and sustained brake temperatures are rarely achieved. The smooth initial bite and superior release characteristics give S2000, Civic Si, and RSX Type-S drivers the ability to trail-brake with precision and maintain front brake input deep into corners without the snapping or locking tendency that higher-torque compounds can produce on lighter front-wheel-drive and rear-wheel-drive chassis. Its very low abrasive rotor wear - lower than the DTC-60 and DTC-70 - also means front iron discs last through full seasons of competitive driving.

On the S2000, Hawk also recommends DTC-30 as a rear compound in split-friction race setups, pairing it with DTC-60 on the front for a configuration that biases more torque forward while keeping the rear brake feel smooth and progressive. This part number covers the front axle only. The RSX fitment is Type-S exclusive; the base RSX uses a different front caliper. The Civic Si fitment is for the FG2 8th-gen only. Compatible with iron and metal rotors only; carbon ceramic discs are not supported.
