Key Features:

Hawk Performance rotors incorporate cutting-edge design and manufacturing techniques to optimize braking performance and longevity. Key features include:

• Proprietary DTC curved slot design for superior pad bite and consistent friction
• High Carbon Iron G3000 metallurgy for enhanced strength and thermal conductivity
• Cross-drilled and precision CNC milled slots to reduce harmonic resonance and maintain clean pad surfaces
• Salt-spray tested per ISO-9227 standards, exceeding 240 hours for exceptional corrosion resistance
• Magni™ coating barrier that prevents rust, facilitates quick bed-in, and resists galling
• Proven cross-drilled pattern to optimize heat dissipation and improve wet weather braking
• Balanced rotors to minimize vibration and noise during operation
• Manufactured to OE specifications for weight, dimensions, and fitment

Construction & Design:

These rotors are crafted from high carbon iron using Hawk Performance’s G3000 metallurgy, a premium casting material known for its durability and superior heat management. The combination of cross-drilled holes and curved slots is engineered to maximize thermal efficiency by allowing heat and gases to escape quickly, reducing brake fade during intense use. The CNC precision milling ensures each slot is perfectly shaped to maintain a clean pad surface and reduce noise and vibration.

The Magni™ coating provides a robust protective layer that guards against corrosion and rust, extending the rotor’s lifespan while maintaining a clean, professional appearance. This coating also aids in a faster and more effective brake pad bed-in process, ensuring optimal performance from the start.

Installation & Fitment:

Designed to fit the rear braking system of 2003 and 2004 Dodge Dakota models, these rotors install easily without requiring any modifications. They are engineered to match the original equipment specifications for bolt pattern, thickness, and diameter, ensuring a direct bolt-on replacement. Installation can be completed with standard brake tools and basic mechanical knowledge, making it accessible for both professional mechanics and experienced DIY enthusiasts.

What's Included:

• Set of two rear drilled and slotted brake rotors
• Protective Magni™ coating for corrosion resistance
• Installation instructions (where applicable)

Ideal For:

This rotor set is ideal for Dodge Dakota owners seeking enhanced braking performance, improved heat dissipation, and long-lasting durability. It suits daily drivers who want reliable stopping power as well as enthusiasts who demand better brake response during spirited driving or towing. The drilled and slotted design also benefits those driving in wet or challenging conditions by improving wet braking capability and reducing brake fade.

Hawk Performance is a braking specialist best known for performance brake pad compounds spanning street, autocross, and motorsports use. Their pads are engineered for predictable bite, modulation, and fade resistance—helping enthusiasts and racers brake later, stay consistent under heat, and feel confident when driving hard.
