Hawk 08-10 Mazda RX-8 Grand Touring/Sport/Touring / 04-07 RX-8 DTC-60 Race Front Brake Pads

Hawk Performance is well-known for making brake components that offer a noticeable step up in performance. If you're looking to get more out of your Mazda RX-8's braking system, especially for track days or spirited driving, these DTC-60 race front brake pads are a solid option. They are designed to give you significantly more stopping power than stock pads, with a higher coefficient of friction that translates to 20 to 40 percent more stopping force.

The DTC-60 compound is built for high torque and high temperatures, meaning you'll experience less fade when you're really pushing the car. This improved resistance to fade also means you get a better, more consistent pedal feel, which is crucial for control. While these are race-oriented pads, they are designed to offer good modulation and release characteristics, making them manageable for drivers who want that extra performance edge. You can expect a durable pad that also generates less brake dust than many other performance options.
