Product Description

The Hawk HB545U.564 brake pad uses the DTC-70 compound to deliver high torque, aggressive bite, and excellent fade resistance under motorsport conditions. This pad is engineered to provide racers with consistent performance during sustained heavy braking, ensuring strong modulation and pedal feel. Its design helps maintain rotor and pad longevity even in demanding track environments.

This front pad set fits select 350Z, Sentra, and G35 models equipped with Brembo front brakes. It is optimized for competition use and is **not compatible** with carbon ceramic rotors. Use only in conjunction with proper bedding procedures, and consider pairing with a milder compound on the rear axle for balanced braking behavior.

Ideal customers are racers and track enthusiasts seeking a high-performance front pad solution. Before installation, confirm rotor compatibility and clearance, clean rotor surfaces, and strictly follow the recommended bedding process to maximize performance and pad life.
