Hawk HB903G.604 DTC-60 Front Brake Pads for 2015-2020 Ford Mustang GT350/GT350R

Vehicle Fitment

• 2015-2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 (5.2L V8)
• 2015-2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R (5.2L V8)
• 2016-2020 Ford Mustang (5.2L V8)

Fitment Notes

• Front axle fitment only
• Not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors - designed for iron/metal rotors only
• Race/track use only - not recommended for street driving
• Bed-in procedure required before race or track use
• Recommended to pair with Hawk DTC-70 rear pads (HB903U.604) when split-friction axle setup is desired
• 2015 base Mustang 5.2L fitment begins with the Shelby GT350/GT350R only; the non-Shelby 5.2L fitment applies 2016-2020

Features

• DTC-60 ferro-carbon motorsport compound engineered for high deceleration rates with or without aerodynamic downforce
• High torque output with less initial bite than DTC-70 - ideal for precise modulation under extreme braking
• Superior release and torque control characteristics for smooth, repeatable corner entry braking
• Very low abrasive rotor wear - extends rotor service life during extended race and track sessions
• Excellent modulation and release characteristics for ABS and non-ABS applications
• Wide operating temperature range of 400°F-1600°F with optimal range of 400°F-800°F
• 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 Brembo front calipers on the Shelby GT350/GT350R - no caliper upgrade required
• Engineered and manufactured by Carlisle Brake & Friction (CBF) under the Hawk Performance brand
• Popular choice for lightweight front axle applications requiring high thermal endurance and controlled torque delivery

Product Description

The Hawk Performance HB903G.604 DTC-60 front brake pads are a purpose-built ferro-carbon motorsport compound designed for the 2015-2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350, GT350R, and 5.2L V8 variants. Engineered to handle the extreme braking demands of vehicles running high deceleration rates with or without aerodynamic downforce, the DTC-60 compound delivers high torque output with a slightly softer initial bite compared to the DTC-70 - making it an exceptionally controllable pad for threshold braking and trail-braking into corners. These pads drop directly into the Shelby GT350's stock Brembo front calipers with no modifications required, delivering genuine race-compound performance in an OEM-fit package.

The DTC-60 compound operates across a wide temperature window of 400°F to 1600°F, with peak performance between 400°F and 800°F, making it equally suitable for sprint races, endurance events, and extended track sessions where sustained braking loads would overwhelm conventional performance pads. Hawk specifically recommends pairing DTC-60 front pads with DTC-70 rear pads when a split-friction axle setup is desired - a common strategy on heavier, high-downforce platforms like the GT350 to tune front-to-rear brake balance for optimal lap performance. The ferro-carbon construction also delivers very low abrasive rotor wear, helping preserve the Shelby's large-diameter rotors over the course of a racing season.

It is critical to note that the HB903G.604 is a race-only compound and is not intended for street driving. The DTC-60 requires proper heat cycling to reach its operating window, meaning cold street braking performance will be significantly reduced compared to OEM or street-performance pads. A thorough bed-in procedure is mandatory before any race or high-speed track use. These pads are not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors and must be used exclusively with iron or metal rotor surfaces. Backed by Carlisle Brake & Friction's limited warranty against defects in workmanship and materials, the HB903G.604 is the definitive braking upgrade for GT350 and GT350R owners competing in track days, time attack, road racing, and other motorsport disciplines.
