Product Description

Hawk HB399G.630 DTC-60 rear brake pads deliver high-torque braking with exceptional modulation and release for classic BMW E21, E28, E30, E32, E34, and E24 platforms from 1982 to 1991. Designed specifically for lighter motorsport rear applications, the DTC-60 compound offers stable friction, low rotor wear, and reliable performance in high-temperature environments, making these pads a trusted choice for vintage track and race enthusiasts.

The thin 0.630" profile ensures fitment clearance in original calipers, and the ferro-carbon material is asbestos-free. Compatible exclusively with iron rotors, these pads are optimized for competition use, offering a consistent braking feel from 600°F to 1600°F. Note: this product is race-only and not street-legal; it lacks DOT approval.

Ideal for racers running split-friction setups - paired with DTC-70 front pads - the HB399G.630 provides controlled rear torque release, improving pedal feel and vehicle stability under deceleration. Ensure proper bedding before track use and inspect rotor compatibility and clearance during installation.
