Hawk HB725G.650 DTC-60 Front Brake Pads for Ford Fiesta ST 2014-2019

Vehicle Fitment

• 2014-2019 Ford Fiesta ST (1.6L EcoBoost I4 Turbocharged, FWD) - Front

Fitment Notes

• Position: Front axle only.
• FMSI Caliper Reference: D1730.
• Not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors. For use with iron/metal rotors only.
• OE-type retention clips are included with this pad set for a complete direct-fit installation.
• All Ford Fiesta ST models are front-wheel drive equipped with the 1.6L EcoBoost turbocharged inline-4 engine throughout the 2014-2019 North American production run.
• DTC-60 is a pure motorsport compound not suitable for street use. It requires sustained operating temperatures that cannot be achieved in normal road driving, and its aggressive friction characteristics would create unpredictable cold-braking behavior on public roads. The Fiesta ST is a lightweight FWD platform - DTC-60 is well-matched as a front compound for this car in autocross competition and circuit track days where sustained front brake temperatures can be achieved.
• Sold as a set of 4 pads (one axle / two front calipers).

Features

• DTC-60 Ferro-Carbon compound - Hawk's high-torque motorsport formulation with less initial bite than DTC-70, engineered for vehicles running at high deceleration rates with or without aerodynamic downforce, and specifically well-suited to the Fiesta ST's lightweight front-wheel-drive platform where the compound's excellent modulation and controlled initial bite support stable front brake engagement without triggering front axle instability under hard braking in competition.
• Popular choice on lightweight front axle applications - Hawk specifically identifies DTC-60 as the preferred compound for lighter, smaller cars on the front axle, making it the natural compound selection for the Fiesta ST in autocross and circuit racing where the car's low weight and FWD configuration demand a front compound with controllable initial bite rather than the extreme aggression of DTC-70.
• Superior release and front torque control - The DTC-60's progressive engagement and clean release are defining advantages for the Fiesta ST's front-wheel-drive platform, where controlled front brake application at corner entry and clean release at corner exit are fundamental to maintaining traction, steering authority, and chassis balance throughout the braking zone.
• Very low abrasive rotor wear - Produces significantly lower front rotor wear than higher-torque compounds, extending disc service life across autocross seasons and multi-event track schedules - important for Fiesta ST owners who compete regularly and want to minimize brake maintenance costs.
• Wide operating temperature range - 400-1,600°F total range with a 700-1,100°F optimal window, covering the front brake temperatures the Fiesta ST generates during sustained circuit racing and competitive autocross use where street compounds reach their thermal limits.
• Excellent modulation and consistent pedal feel - Maintains a stable friction coefficient across the full operating temperature range, delivering repeatable front brake torque for consistent lap-to-lap braking precision in competitive driving.
• Race-validated across multiple motorsport disciplines - Applicable to Sports Car/GT/GS, pavement circle track, Open Wheel/Formula, and endurance racing applications where high front brake torque with controlled initial bite is demanded from lighter platforms.
• OE retention clips included - New OE-type front retention clips are included for a complete, direct-fit installation without additional hardware purchases.
• 100% asbestos, lead, chromium, cadmium, and antimony free - Manufactured in an ISO-certified facility to strict quality and environmental standards.

Product Description

The Hawk HB725G.650 DTC-60 front brake pads are engineered for the FMSI D1730 front caliper of the Ford Fiesta ST (2014-2019), covering all North American Fiesta ST models equipped with the 1.6L EcoBoost turbocharged inline-4 in front-wheel-drive configuration. Among the motorsport compounds available for this pad shape, DTC-60 is the appropriate high-torque selection for Fiesta ST owners who compete at autocross events and track days where the OEM or HPS-class front pads have proven thermally insufficient. Hawk specifically identifies DTC-60 as a popular front compound for lighter, smaller cars - exactly the application profile of the Fiesta ST - where the compound's controlled initial bite and excellent modulation provide maximum front brake performance without the overwhelming aggression of DTC-70 on a lightweight FWD platform.

The DTC-60 operates across a 400-1,600°F range (optimal: 700-1,100°F), addressing the sustained front brake temperatures the Fiesta ST's front calipers generate under repeated hard braking in competition use. The compound's progressive engagement and clean release characteristics are particularly valuable on the Fiesta ST's front-wheel-drive chassis, where front brake modulation directly affects traction, steering authority, and understeer behavior through the braking zone - making controlled front brake engagement more important than maximum initial bite.

DTC-60 is a track-only compound and must not be used for street driving. OE-type retention clips are included for a complete direct-fit installation. Compatible with iron and metal rotors only; carbon ceramic brake discs are not supported.
