Hawk HB700W.562 DTC-30 Front Race Brake Pads 2006-2007 Subaru Impreza WRX

Vehicle Fitment

• 2006-2007 Subaru Impreza WRX (2.5L EJ255 Turbo Flat-4, AWD) - Front
• 1997-1998 Subaru Impreza WRX STi 22B (2.0L EJ20G Turbo Flat-4, AWD) - Front (JDM market only)

Fitment Notes

• Front axle application only - OEM caliper, 0.562 in. pad thickness.
• Fitment is specific to the 2006-2007 Impreza WRX - does not fit the 2006-2007 WRX STi, which uses a different front caliper and pad shape.
• The 1997-1998 Subaru Impreza WRX STi 22B fitment is for the JDM-only limited edition model only; verify caliper compatibility before ordering for any non-US-market variant.
• For track use, HPDE, autocross, and spirited driving - not recommended for street daily driving due to increased noise and dust output.
• Not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors; designed for iron/metal rotors only.
• Expect significantly increased dust and noise compared to HPS or OEM pads.
• Requires a proper bed-in procedure after installation.

Features

• DTC-30 Ferro-Carbon compound delivers controllable medium torque with a smooth, consistent initial bite - engineered for the WRX's AWD platform where progressive, predictable front braking is essential for corner entry stability.
• Superior release and torque control characteristics for precise, repeatable braking performance in autocross, HPDE, and track day applications.
• Extremely wide operating temperature range of 100-1200°F with an optimal window of 100-800°F - effective from a cold street start through sustained hard braking at circuit speeds.
• Still drivable on the street for the drive to and from the event, though increased noise and dust versus HP Plus are expected.
• Very low abrasive rotor wear for a race compound - extended rotor service life across a full season of competitive use.
• Backed by Hawk's limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.

Product Description

The Hawk HB700W.562 DTC-30 front brake pads are engineered for the OEM front caliper on the 2006-2007 Subaru Impreza WRX - the turbocharged AWD sport compact that serves as a popular platform for autocross, HPDE, and club racing. For WRX drivers who have outgrown HP Plus at track events and need a more capable front brake compound, the DTC-30's controllable medium torque and smooth, progressive bite deliver predictable, repeatable braking without the aggressive initial grab of higher-torque compounds that can unsettle the WRX's AWD chassis on corner entry.

The DTC-30's very wide temperature operating range - from 100°F all the way through 1200°F - means these pads work effectively from the first cold lap through a full day of track sessions. They can be driven to and from the track on the street, though elevated noise and dust are expected in daily use. A proper bed-in procedure is required after installation to achieve optimal friction film transfer and peak performance characteristics.
