Rear brake pad size issue
Hello all, I just purchased Hawk DTC-30 front and rear brake pads.
I wanted to compare sizing with oem to make sure I ordered the right parts. My new front pads have the same surface area as stock, but it appears the rear pads are smaller in pad face length (pictures below)? Since the pad is actually the same width it will cover the rear rotor no problem, but I wanted to know if this was normal before I install. First picture is comparing to used stock, second is comparing to used Carbotech. Rear pad part # HB671W.628 |

As long as the backing plate is correct it should be okay. I have noticed this on the carbotech's I had too.

Rears are different too, Vented vs Non vented rear rotors. The non vented are 4mm smaller and 8mm narrower.

Probably because it's limited to certain euro/asian regions. All north american vehicles came with the larger front and rear vented brakes. Hawk is an american/North american centric company. Some of the other international companies have listings for both and can make it confusing.

So I screwed up and saw last night that the brake pads I have currently in the rear are Hawk Street/Race which are a "street version" of the DTC-30 that I just freaking bought. They are the same compound.
Is it safe to run DTC-30 in the front, and Street/Race in the rear knowing they are the same compound and essentially the same pad? The only the difference is Street/Race has chamfered edges and a backing plate shim. |
