Product Description

The Hawk HB290W.606 DTC-30 Rear Brake Pads are engineered for serious drivers looking for race-grade performance on their rear Porsche brakes. These pads, with their aggressive DTC-30 compound, provide clean, strong stopping power with smooth engagement - even in cold conditions - which makes them perfect for track days, autocross, or spirited street driving.

Measuring 0.606" thick, these pads bolt directly into the OEM 4-piston rear calipers on 996 Carrera 4 and 986 Boxster models. They're built to resist fade and rotor wear, delivering reliable performance from initial bite to high-heat braking. Though ideal for track use, they're still controllable and well-suited for street-driven Porsches requiring upgraded rear braking. Designed for cast-iron rotors only - carbon-ceramic rotors are excluded.
