HTS4451

Overview:

The Hawk Performance Slotted-Only Rear Brake Rotor Set is engineered specifically for the 2001–2002 Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 models. Designed to deliver reliable, heavy-duty braking performance, these rotors are ideal for truck owners who demand durability and consistent stopping power under demanding conditions. Built to meet original equipment specifications, this rotor set integrates seamlessly with your vehicle’s existing braking system without requiring any modifications.

Whether you’re hauling heavy loads or navigating challenging road conditions, these rotors provide enhanced thermal management and improved pad bite, ensuring safer and more confident braking performance. The slotted-only design is optimized for heavy-duty applications, making it a perfect upgrade for trucks used in towing, off-road, or commercial environments.

Key Features:

Hawk Performance rotors incorporate advanced technology and rigorous testing to deliver superior braking performance. Key features include:

• Proprietary DTC curved slot design for improved pad contact and debris removal
• Manufactured to OE specifications, weights, and production processes for perfect fitment
• High Carbon Iron G3000 metallurgy for enhanced strength and thermal conductivity
• CNC precision-milled slots to reduce harmonic resonance and maintain a clean pad surface
• Salt-spray tested per ISO-9227, exceeding 240 hours for superior corrosion resistance
• Cross-drilled and slotted designs validated through extensive dynamometer testing
• Magni™ coating barrier for quick, easy bed-in and long-lasting protection against galling
• Optimized thermal efficiency and heat dissipation to reduce brake fade during heavy use

Construction & Design:

These rotors are crafted from premium High Carbon Iron G3000, a metallurgy known for its superior casting quality and durability in demanding automotive applications. The rotors undergo precision CNC milling to create the slotted pattern, which is engineered to minimize harmonic vibrations and maintain consistent pad contact. This design not only improves braking efficiency but also extends pad life by keeping the friction surface clean and free of debris.

The Magni™ coating applied to the rotor surface acts as a protective barrier against corrosion, ensuring longevity even in harsh environments where salt and moisture are prevalent. This coating also facilitates a faster and more effective bed-in process, reducing the risk of uneven pad deposits and brake judder.

Installation & Fitment:

The Hawk Performance Slotted-Only Rear Brake Rotor Set is designed for direct bolt-on installation on 2001–2002 Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 trucks. No modifications to the existing braking system are necessary, making installation straightforward for professional mechanics and experienced DIY enthusiasts alike. These rotors fit precisely to OE specifications, ensuring proper alignment and optimal braking performance immediately after installation.

What's Included:

• Two rear slotted-only brake rotors designed for heavy-duty use

Ideal For:

This rotor set is ideal for Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 owners who require enhanced braking performance for heavy-duty applications such as towing, hauling, off-road driving, or commercial use. It is also well-suited for drivers seeking a reliable upgrade that maintains OEM fitment and quality standards while improving thermal management and pad life.
