Hawk Performance DTC-60 High Performance Racing Brake Pads

The Hawk Performance DTC-60 is a purpose-built racing brake compound engineered for vehicles operating under extreme deceleration forces, with or without aerodynamic downforce. Part of Hawk's Dynamic Torque Control (DTC) series, the DTC-60 delivers high torque output with slightly less initial bite than the DTC-70, giving drivers superior release characteristics and more predictable, controllable braking feel at the limit.

Key Features:

• Dynamic Torque Control (DTC) ferro-carbon compound engineered for high deceleration rates with or without aerodynamic downforce
• Operating temperature range of 400°F–1,600°F with an optimal window of 700°F–1,100°F for consistent race-ready performance
• High torque output with excellent modulation and release characteristics for precise, predictable brake control at the limit
• Very low abrasive rotor wear for extended rotor life under racing conditions
• Superior fade resistance maintains consistent pedal feel through repeated, aggressive stops
• Pairs effectively with DTC-70 pads at the opposite axle when a split friction coefficient between front and rear is desired
• ABS compatible — popular choice on lightweight front axle applications with or without ABS
• Proven in top-tier motorsports including NASCAR, ARCA, Super Late Models, Sports Car/GT, Open Wheel/Formula, and Pro Off-Road Truck classes
• Compatible with iron and metal matrix rotors — not intended for use with carbon ceramic rotors
• Race-use only — not suitable for street driving

Not an entry-level race compound. The DTC-60 is intended for serious, experienced racers who have encountered overheating or insufficient bite from less aggressive compounds. Increased brake dust and noise compared to street pads are expected and are a natural trade-off for race-level stopping performance.
