Hawk HB925G.597 DTC-60 Rear Brake Pads for 2020-2026 Corvette C8 Stingray Base

Vehicle Fitment

• 2020-2026 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray Base (6.2L V8, RWD) - without Z51 Performance Package

Fitment Notes

• Rear axle fitment only
• Fits C8 Corvette Stingray Base (non-Z51) only - does NOT fit the Z51 Performance Package variant, which uses a different rear caliper and requires HB926G.577
• Does NOT fit the C8 Corvette Z06, E-Ray, or ZR1 - those models use different brake systems
• Not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors - designed for iron/metal rotors only
• Race and track use only - not recommended for street driving
• Bed-in procedure required before race or track use
• Recommended to pair with Hawk DTC-70 front pads when a split-friction axle setup is desired for maximum track performance

Features

• DTC-60 ferro-carbon motorsport compound engineered for high deceleration rates with or without aerodynamic downforce - purpose-built for the C8's mid-engine platform dynamics
• High torque output with less initial bite than DTC-70 - delivers excellent modulation and progressive pedal feel for precise threshold braking
• Superior release and torque control characteristics for smooth, repeatable corner entry braking on track
• Very low abrasive pad and rotor wear - extends rotor service life during extended track sessions
• Wide operating temperature range of 400°F-1600°F with optimal range of 600°F-1200°F for sustained high-heat track use
• Proven effective in NASCAR/NASCAR Modified, ARCA, Super Late Models, pavement circle track, Pro 2/Pro 4 Off-Road Trucks, Sports Car/GT/GS, and Open Wheel/Formula applications
• Compatible with stock OEM rear calipers on the C8 Corvette Base - no caliper upgrade required
• Engineered and manufactured in the USA by Carlisle Brake & Friction (CBF) under the Hawk Performance brand
• Stable friction output across extreme temperature cycles - consistent lap after lap
• Limited lifetime warranty against defects in workmanship and materials

Product Description

The Hawk Performance HB925G.597 DTC-60 rear brake pads are a purpose-built ferro-carbon race compound designed specifically for the 2020-2026 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray Base (non-Z51). Engineered to handle the extreme braking demands of the C8's mid-engine layout, high cornering speeds, and track-day deceleration rates, the DTC-60 compound delivers exceptional rear-axle torque with outstanding modulation and release characteristics. Compared to the more aggressive DTC-70, the DTC-60 produces less initial bite, making it ideal for the rear axle of larger, heavier, high-performance vehicles like the C8 - where rear brake torque must be carefully balanced to maintain stability under trail-braking and threshold conditions. These pads drop directly into the stock OEM rear calipers of the C8 Stingray Base with no hardware modifications required.

The DTC-60 compound operates across an extreme temperature window of 400°F to 1600°F, with optimal performance between 600°F and 1200°F, making it capable of sustaining full brake performance through prolonged sprint races, endurance laps, and multi-session track days where lesser compounds would fade or glaze. Hawk specifically recommends pairing these DTC-60 rear pads with DTC-70 front pads (HB924G.565 for Base / HB926G.577 for Z51) when a split-friction setup is desired - a proven strategy for balancing front-to-rear brake bias on the C8's rear-weight-biased platform. The very low abrasive wear characteristics of the DTC-60 compound also help protect the C8's large-diameter rear rotors over the course of a racing season.

It is critical to confirm correct variant fitment before purchasing: HB925G.597 is for the C8 Corvette Stingray Base without the Z51 Performance Package only. Stingrays equipped with the Z51 package use a larger rear caliper and require a different pad (HB926G.577). The Z06, E-Ray, and ZR1 models are not supported by this part number. The DTC-60 is a race-only compound and is not intended for street driving - it requires heat cycling to reach its operating window, and cold-street braking performance will be significantly reduced compared to OEM or street-performance pads. A proper bed-in procedure is mandatory before any high-speed track use. Manufactured in the USA and backed by Carlisle Brake & Friction's limited warranty, the HB925G.597 is the definitive rear track brake upgrade for C8 Stingray Base owners competing in road racing, time attack, HPDE, and other motorsport events.
