Product Description

The Hawk HB779G.740 DTC-60 front brake pad set is engineered for high-performance applications requiring exceptional stopping power and fade resistance. Designed for use with 6-piston calipers, these pads offer superior modulation and release characteristics, making them ideal for road racing and asphalt circle track events. The DTC-60 compound provides high torque with less initial bite than the DTC-70, allowing for precise control during aggressive braking maneuvers.

With an optimal temperature range of 700-1,100°F (371-593°C), the DTC-60 compound maintains consistent performance under demanding conditions. The pads are constructed with a black powder-coated backing plate to resist corrosion and ensure durability. Please note that these pads are not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors and are designed for use with iron/metal rotors only.

Installation is straightforward on factory calipers with no additional hardware included, matching the minimalist design track racers prefer. Ideal for split-friction setups when paired with DTC-70 rears, these pads suit drivers who demand aggressive deceleration and precision on track or spirited road drives.
