Hawk 04-10 BMW 535i/545i/550i / 04-10 645Ci/650i /02-09 745i/745Li/750 DTC-70 Race Rear Brake Pads

The DTC-70 compound in these Hawk Performance rear brake pads is formulated for high torque and high temperatures, making them a solid option for track days or spirited driving where consistent stopping power is critical. They offer excellent modulation and release characteristics, meaning you can control your braking input precisely, and they provide smooth initial bite without being grabby. This compound is known for its ability to handle demanding conditions while also offering good pad and rotor wear compared to other race compounds.

These pads are designed to give you a noticeable increase in stopping power, often providing 20 to 40 percent more force than stock pads, with much better resistance to brake fade. This means your brake pedal will feel more consistent, even during prolonged hard braking. While they are a race-oriented compound, they are still street-legal and can be used on a variety of BMW models, including the 5 Series (like the 535i or 550i), 6 Series (like the 645Ci or 650i), and 7 Series (like the 745i or 750Li), among many others listed in the fitment guide.

When installing these, remember they are a performance compound. You might notice a bit more noise than with standard street pads, and they do generate less dust than many aggressive pads, but they are still designed for maximum performance. They are a well-built choice for BMW owners looking to improve their braking system's capability beyond what factory parts offer.
