Hawk HB110U.654 DTC-70 Race Brake Pads for AP Racing CP3307 CP5040 CP5200

Vehicle Fitment

• Universal - Fits AP Racing CP3307 Caliper
• Universal - Fits AP Racing CP5040-5S4 Caliper
• Universal - Fits AP Racing CP5200 (SC250/Essex) Caliper

Fitment Notes

• This is a caliper-specific universal brake pad. Fitment is determined solely by caliper model, not by vehicle year, make, or model.
• Compatible with AP Racing CP3307, CP5040-5S4, and CP5200 (SC250/Essex) calipers only.
• Pad thickness: 0.654 in. (17 mm). Verify caliper compatibility before ordering.
• Not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors. Designed exclusively for use with iron/metal rotors.
• DTC-70 is a pure motorsport compound and is not recommended for street use.
• Due to the aggressive nature of this compound, increased noise and rotor wear should be expected compared to street compounds. Not suitable for daily driving.

Features

• DTC-70 Ferro-Carbon compound - Hawk's highest-torque motorsport formulation, engineered for cars with extreme deceleration rates, with or without aerodynamic downforce.
• Extremely high torque output - Delivers aggressive, controllable initial bite that allows drivers to brake later and more confidently into corners under race conditions.
• Wide operating temperature range - Rated from 400-1600°F total operating range, with an optimal performance window between 800-1200°F for sustained race use.
• Superior release and torque control characteristics - Provides consistent, progressive brake release after peak deceleration, reducing instability under hard braking at racing speeds.
• Split friction compatible - Designed to be paired with DTC-60 pads at the rear axle for controlled front/rear brake bias tuning, giving drivers full braking balance adjustability.
• Excellent rotor and pad wear characteristics - Despite its aggressive compound, the DTC-70 maintains superior pad and rotor longevity relative to other extreme motorsport compounds.
• Race-proven across multiple disciplines - Validated in sports car, GT, endurance, open wheel, and high-downforce circuit racing applications worldwide.
• Integrally molded construction - Eliminates loose shims for a solid, direct pad-to-piston interface that eliminates shim-related vibration and movement at high temperatures.
• 100% asbestos, lead, chromium, cadmium, and antimony free - Manufactured in an ISO-certified facility to stringent motorsport quality standards.

Product Description

The Hawk HB110U.654 DTC-70 brake pads represent the pinnacle of Hawk Performance's motorsport compound lineup, purpose-built for the AP Racing CP3307, CP5040-5S4, and CP5200 (SC250/Essex) caliper family. Utilizing Hawk's most aggressive Ferro-Carbon DTC-70 formulation, these pads are designed for vehicles operating at the absolute limits of braking performance - specifically those generating high deceleration rates with or without aerodynamic downforce. With an optimal temperature window of 800-1200°F and a total operating range spanning 400-1600°F, the DTC-70 compound stays in its performance window through the most demanding circuit and endurance racing conditions.

What separates the DTC-70 from other Hawk motorsport compounds is its combination of maximum torque output with genuinely controllable initial bite. Unlike some high-torque compounds that sacrifice modulation for outright stopping force, the DTC-70 maintains superior release and torque control characteristics, giving experienced drivers the confidence to brake aggressively while maintaining precise, adjustable deceleration through the brake zone. The compound is also a natural front-axle partner for DTC-60 rear pads, allowing race engineers to fine-tune front-to-rear brake bias through compound selection rather than relying entirely on the brake balance bar.

Because the HB110U.654 is a caliper-specific universal pad, buyers must confirm their vehicle is equipped with one of the three supported AP Racing caliper models - CP3307, CP5040-5S4, or CP5200 (SC250/Essex) - before ordering. These calipers appear across a wide range of race-built platforms and AP Racing big brake kit installations. The DTC-70 is not suitable for street or casual track use due to its extreme temperature requirements; it must be used on iron or metal rotors only and is incompatible with carbon ceramic brake discs.
