Key Features:

Hawk Performance’s Talon® rotors incorporate cutting-edge technology and materials to provide a premium braking solution:

• Cross-drilled and slotted design for enhanced thermal efficiency and heat dissipation
• High Carbon Iron G3000 metallurgy for superior strength and durability
• CNC precision-milled slots to reduce harmonic resonance and maintain clean pad surfaces
• Salt-spray tested per ISO-9227, exceeding 240 hours for outstanding corrosion resistance
• Magni™ coating barrier for quick, easy bed-in and protection against galling
• Validated through extensive dynamometer testing to ensure consistent performance
• Engineered to fit without modification, maintaining OE weight and production standards
• Proven cross-drilled pattern optimizes wet braking and strength

Construction & Design:

These rotors are crafted from high carbon iron using Hawk Performance’s proprietary G3000 metallurgy, a premium casting material known for its excellent thermal conductivity and resistance to cracking under extreme conditions. The rotors feature precision CNC-machined slots that are curved to Hawk’s unique DTC design, which helps expel brake dust and gases, maintaining a clean pad surface and reducing brake fade.

The cross-drilled holes are strategically placed to improve airflow and heat dissipation, preventing overheating during aggressive braking. Additionally, the Magni™ coating applied to the rotor surface provides a durable barrier against rust and corrosion, ensuring long-lasting appearance and performance even in harsh environments.

Installation & Fitment:

Designed as a direct replacement for the front rotors on 2003 and 2004 Dodge Dakota models, this rotor set installs easily using standard tools and procedures. No modifications to the vehicle’s braking system are necessary, allowing for a straightforward upgrade that maintains factory fitment and performance characteristics. This ensures a hassle-free installation experience for both professional mechanics and knowledgeable enthusiasts.

What's Included:

• Two front drilled and slotted brake rotors (driver and passenger side)

Ideal For:
