Key Features

The Hawk Performance DTC-30 front race pads incorporate advanced materials and design features to optimize braking performance and durability. Key features include:

• Multi-purpose, controllable torque compound that balances high-friction performance with smooth modulation for precise control.
• Superior release characteristics, allowing for quick and consistent pad retraction after each brake application, reducing heat build-up and fade.
• Excellent cold effectiveness, ensuring reliable braking even during initial application or in cooler conditions.
• Designed specifically for use with iron/metal rotors; not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors, ensuring optimal pad and rotor interaction.
• Medium torque rating suitable for a wide range of racing and performance driving scenarios, providing a reliable and predictable pedal feel.
• Operational temperature range of approximately 100–1200°F, allowing the pads to perform consistently across various high-heat conditions encountered in racing.
• Manufactured with high-quality compounds that resist fade and maintain consistent friction levels during extended use.
• Engineered for durability and longevity under demanding racing conditions, helping to reduce pad wear and maintain performance over multiple sessions.
• Designed to work seamlessly with the BMW M4's braking system, ensuring proper fitment and optimal performance without modifications.

Construction & Design

The DTC-30 race pads feature a robust, high-friction compound bonded to a durable backing plate, ensuring reliable contact and heat dissipation. The pads are precision-machined to exact specifications for a perfect fit on the BMW M4's calipers, providing consistent and predictable braking behavior. The compound's formulation is optimized for high-temperature stability, resisting thermal fade and maintaining friction levels even under extreme conditions. The design emphasizes smooth engagement and modulation, making these pads suitable for both competitive racing and high-performance street use.

Installation & Fitment

The Hawk Performance DTC-30 front race pads are a direct bolt-on replacement for the OEM pads on the BMW M4 (2015–2017).
