Fitment Notes

• Rear position only. Verify rotor size before ordering - does not fit vehicles equipped with larger upgraded OEM brake packages.
• Not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors; designed for iron/metal rotors only.
• Audi A3 TDI fitment applies to 2010-2013 model years with standard rear brake configuration.

Features

• Talon Street Rotors use Hawk's proprietary DTC curved hook-slot design, machined via CNC for precise, consistent bite and improved pad contact.
• Performance Ceramic (PC) compound virtually eliminates brake dust while maintaining stable, linear friction output across daily driving conditions.
• Engineered to significantly reduce brake NVH - noise, vibration, and harshness - compared to standard OEM pads.
• Rotors are built to OE specifications in weight and dimensions, requiring zero modification for installation.
• Weather-fortified rotor finish passes ISO-9227 salt-spray testing for long-term corrosion resistance.
• Gentle rotor wear characteristics extend the service life of both pads and rotors.
• Kit components are engineered to work together, eliminating compatibility guesswork between rotors and pads.
• Ideal for street and daily performance driving, including spirited driving and mild track days.

Product Description

The Hawk HKC4567.544Z is a rear brake kit combining Talon Street slotted rotors with Hawk's Performance Ceramic (PC) pad compound, purpose-built for Audi and Volkswagen PQ35-platform vehicles. The Talon rotors feature Hawk's proprietary DTC curved hook-slot technology, which improves pad bite and heat dissipation while maintaining smooth, quiet operation. Both rotors and pads are matched as a system, ensuring proper break-in characteristics and consistent performance from the first stop.

The PC compound is an ideal choice for drivers who want to upgrade their rear braking without increased noise or dust. It delivers a linear friction profile that works seamlessly with ABS systems and extends rotor life by reducing wear at the pad interface. This kit is a popular direct replacement for OEM brake packages on European performance vehicles and drops in without modification to the existing brake hardware.
