Product Description

The Hawk HB290U.606 rear brake pad set uses the DTC-70 compound - Hawk's top-tier motorsports formula engineered for high-deceleration Porsche platforms (996/997, 986/987, and Cayman). These pads deliver extremely high torque and aggressive initial bite while providing excellent modulation and brake release control. Ideal for race use, they deliver consistent stopping power lap after lap.

Specifically designed for iron or steel rotors (not carbon-ceramic), this kit includes 2 rear pads (FMSI D738) with 15.39 mm thickness. Optimal temperature performance ranges from 800 °F to 1200 °F, sustaining heavy braking scenarios in road racing, endurance, or track events. Installation aligns with OEM caliper guide pins; professional bedding is recommended.

Coverage is verified for 1997-2009 Porsche 996/997 911 Carrera and 986/987 Boxster/Cayman models (RWD or AWD). Fitment confirmed through 2009; coverage beyond that point is unconfirmed. These pads are ideal for race teams and experienced drivers seeking maximum rear braking performance on the track. Not emissions-relevant.
