• 2015-2016 Volkswagen e-Golf - Rear
• 2010-2016 Audi A3 / A3 Quattro (8P/8V, standard rear brakes) - Rear

Fitment Notes

• Rear axle application only - fits the OEM rear caliper and 272mm (10.71 in.) solid rear rotor interface used across the VW PQ35/MQB platform standard rear brake configurations listed above.
• Vehicles with optional larger rear brake packages (e.g., GTI with sport brakes or larger rotors) use a different rear rotor size and are not covered by this kit - verify your rear rotor diameter before ordering.
• Not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors; all Talon rotors and Hawk compounds are designed for iron/metal rotors only.
• VIN verification is recommended for Golf GTI and Passat models, as multiple rear brake configurations were available across model years.
• No electronic wear sensor or additional hardware included beyond the rotors and pads.

Features

• Complete bolt-on rear brake upgrade in a single kit - includes a matched pair of Talon drilled and slotted rear rotors (HTC4567) and a full set of HPS 5.0 rear brake pads engineered to work together from the first stop.
• Talon solid rear rotors feature Hawk's proprietary DTC-inspired curved slot design - CNC-machined curved slots reduce NVH, keep pad surfaces clean and debris-free, and promote even pad transfer during bed-in.
• Cross-drilled holes improve thermal dissipation and wet-weather rear braking, expelling heat and gases quickly during sustained braking - useful on these sport-focused VW and Audi platforms during spirited driving.
• G3000 premium cast iron construction with Magni corrosion-resistant coating prevents premature surface rust and ensures clean, consistent bed-in; rotors are built to OE specifications and weights.
• HPS 5.0 Ferro-Carbon compound delivers aggressive torque with smooth, predictable rear brake control - meaningfully more stopping power than OEM rear pads while remaining quiet and low-dust for daily driving.
• Backed by Hawk's limited lifetime warranty on pads; Talon rotors covered by Hawk's rotor warranty against manufacturing defects.

Product Description

The Hawk HKC4567.544B pairs the Talon drilled and slotted rear solid rotor (HTC4567, 10.71 in.) with HPS 5.0 rear pads in a single kit for the VW PQ35/MQB platform rear brake interface used across the Golf Mk6, Golf GTI Mk6, Jetta VI, Passat B7, Beetle A5, Eos, e-Golf, and Audi A3 8P/8V with the standard 272mm solid rear rotor. This is a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory rear brake components on these vehicles - no caliper brackets, adapters, or hardware modifications required.

The Talon rotors are built to OE specifications and weights, and Hawk's DTC-derived curved slots and cross-drilled holes maintain a clean pad surface, dissipate heat quickly, and improve wet-weather rear braking confidence. HPS 5.0's upgraded friction and fade resistance over standard HPS makes this kit a step up over OEM rear brakes for Golf GTI, Jetta GLI, and Audi A3 owners who want noticeably better rear braking performance for spirited street and occasional autocross use. Verify your rear rotor size before ordering, as some Volkswagen and Audi variants were offered with multiple rear brake configurations. A proper bed-in procedure is required after installation.
