The Hawk HB719G.668 pads use the “DTC‑60” motorsport‑grade compound to deliver high‑torque braking, strong fade‑resistance, and consistent brake release — ideal for aggressive driving, track days, or performance‑tuned street cars. These pads provide powerful, stable deceleration and excellent modulation under load while minimizing rotor wear compared to many race‑focused pads. Their stable, predictable friction makes them a great option for drivers who demand reliable braking during spirited driving or occasional track use.

Designed for vehicles originally equipped with iron/metal rotors — not compatible with carbon‑ceramic brake rotors.
Intended for front‑axle installations in compatible cars (see manufacturer fitment guide).
One (1) set of front brake pads — friction material + backing plates. (PB: sold as a pair or four‑pad set depending on vehicle/callout)
Pad material: Hawk DTC‑60 high‑performance friction compound.
Compound: DTC‑60 motorsport friction compound
Operating Temperature Range: 400 °F – 1600 °F (≈ 205 °C – 870 °C)
Optimal Temperature Range: 700 °F – 1100 °F (≈ 370 °C – 595 °C) for ideal friction and modulation.
Friction Characteristics: High torque / strong bite, stable modulation and release characteristics under repeated heavy braking.
Rotor Wear: Very low abrasive wear on compatible iron/metal rotors (less rotor wear than aggressive “straight‑to‑metal” race pads)
Best Use Case: Motorsports, road‑race & track / high‑performance street / occasional track days where high deceleration and heat resistance are needed.
High‑Torque and Strong Initial Bite — The DTC‑60 compound allows aggressive deceleration with firm initial bite, which is a major plus for performance driving or track use.
Fade‑Resistant Under Heat — The wide operating temperature window (400–1600 °F) and optimal temp range mean these pads resist fade even after repeated hard braking or long track sessions.
Consistent Pedal Feel & Modulation — Despite being a “race‑style” compound, these pads offer predictable pad release and modulation, helping maintain control and smoothness under braking.
Low Rotor Wear (on Iron/Metal Rotors) — Compared to typical high‑performance or race pads, these produce less rotor abrasion — preserving rotor life and reducing maintenance cost (assuming rotor material compatibility).
Suitable for Performance Street & Track Use — Good balance between race‑pad aggression and usable performance; ideal for vehicles that do spirited driving, autocross, track days, or performance upgrades.
Clear Compound Use Guidance — Manufacturer warns against pairing with carbon‑ceramic rotors (common on some high‑end sports cars), avoiding unsafe pad/rotor combinations.
