Hawk HB545G.564 DTC-60 Race Brake Pads for 2003-2009 350Z / G35

Vehicle Fitment

• 2003-2009 Nissan 350Z (with Brembo front brake calipers)
• 2003-2006 Nissan Sentra (Brembo front brake variants)
• 2003-2004 Infiniti G35 (Brembo front brake variants)

Fitment Notes

• Front position only
• Not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors (iron/metal rotor use only)
• Designed for track / motorsports use; may not be DOT legal for all street applications
• Requires correct bedding & break-in for optimal performance

Features

• DTC-60 motorsports compound - strong torque with smoother initial bite
• Good modulation and release control under high temperature
• Lower rotor and pad wear compared to more aggressive compounds
• Stable friction output across broad temperature ranges
• Effective in split-friction setups when used front with milder rear pad
• Developed for use in GT/GS, open wheel, circle track, and late model formats
• Non-ceramic rotor compatibility ensures wider rotor application
• Consistent performance under repeated heavy braking events

Specifications

• Pad thickness: 0.564 in (front pad)
• Compound: DTC-60
• Position: Front only
• Intended rotor material: cast iron / metallic (not carbon ceramic)
• Operating temperature range: ~ 400°F to 1600°F (common DTC spec)
• Optimal temperature range: ~ 600°F to 1200°F

Included Components

• 1x front brake pad set (pair for both front wheels)

Product Description

The Hawk Performance **HB545G.564** brake pads utilize the DTC-60 compound to deliver strong torque with a more controlled bite than ultra-aggressive compounds. This makes them ideal for front-end grip and modulation under track conditions, especially where rotor preservation and consistent feel are critical. The pad is engineered to offer lower wear on both rotor and pad surfaces even in repeated high-temperature braking events.

This pad set is compatible with select Nissan 350Z, Sentra, and Infiniti G35 models that use Brembo front brake systems. Because it is a motorsports pad, it is designed for iron/metal rotors and is *not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors*. Usage in street-only setups may be restricted by regulatory or local requirements. Proper bedding is essential: gradual warmup cycles, avoiding dragging, and following manufacturer protocol are necessary to ensure optimal friction and longevity.

If you're a track or competition enthusiast looking for front braking that balances torque, control, and rotor life, this HB545G.564 set is engineered to perform. Pair with appropriate rear pad compounds to fine-tune front-rear balance. Always verify rotor compatibility and caliper clearances before installation.
