Product Description

The Hawk HB464U.764 DTC-70 front brake pads deliver track-ready stopping power for BMW enthusiasts running 3-Series (E46), X3 (E83), and Z4 (E85/E86) models equipped with 2.5L-3.2L I6 engines. Engineered with Hawk's high-torque DTC-70 compound, these pads offer unparalleled bite, dynamic control, and fade resistance under extreme deceleration, making them ideal for serious motorsport use.

Featuring Dynamic Torque Control technology, HB464U.764 pads maintain composure without edge lift, ensuring consistent braking performance in high-stress scenarios. They're optimized for iron or metal rotors and include a substantial 0.764" backing plate to resist thermal stress and wear. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty, they're the premium choice for racers and track-day drivers demanding reliability.

Please note these pads are race-only and not compliant with street regulations. Installation requires inspection of rotor condition, following proper bedding-in procedures, and using brake fluid suited to track temperatures. Pair these with front DTC-70 pads and consider matching DTC-60 pads on the rear axle for balanced braking performance.
