What is the benefit of the DTC curved slot design on these rotors?

The unique DTC curved slot design on Hawk Talon rotors helps to sweep away dust and gas from the pad surface. This keeps the braking surfaces cleaner and allows for more consistent contact between the pad and rotor, especially during hard braking.

Do these rotors and pads require any special installation procedures?

These rotors and pads are designed for direct fitment and do not require vehicle modifications. However, Hawk Performance recommends following their specific break-in procedure for the ceramic pads to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

What is the difference between cross-drilled and slotted rotors?

Cross-drilled rotors have holes drilled through them, which helps to vent gases and heat away from the braking surface. Slotted rotors have grooves machined into them, which also helps to clear dust and gas, and can provide a slight scraping action to keep the pad surface clean.

Product Details

This kit includes Hawk Performance Talon Cross-Drilled and Slotted Rotors along with their Performance Ceramic Brake Pads. These are designed to be a direct replacement for your vehicle's current braking system, meaning no modifications are needed for installation. The Talon rotors feature Hawk's unique DTC curved slot design, which helps clear dust and gas away from the pad surface. This design, combined with the cross-drilled holes, helps keep the rotors cooler under heavy braking, leading to more consistent stopping performance.

Hawk Performance has decades of experience in developing friction products, and the Talon rotors are built to OE specifications for weight and production processes. This ensures they work seamlessly with your existing brake components. The Performance Ceramic pads are formulated to provide a good balance of stopping power and everyday drivability, with less dust than more aggressive pad compounds. This kit is a solid option for drivers looking for an improved braking feel and performance over stock components, especially for vehicles like the Audi A3, Volkswagen GTI, or Audi TT.

When installing these rotors and pads, it's always a good idea to follow the manufacturer's recommended break-in procedure for the pads to ensure optimal performance and longevity. This kit is a comprehensive upgrade for your vehicle's braking system, offering a noticeable difference in how your car stops.
