Hawk Performance Talon Front Brake Rotor Set

1997–2004 Dodge Dakota & 1998–2003 Dodge Durango All Engines

Part #: HTC4437

Overview

The Hawk Performance Talon Front Brake Rotor Set is engineered to provide exceptional braking performance and reliability for Dodge Dakota and Dodge Durango models spanning 1997 to 2004 and 1998 to 2003 respectively. Designed specifically for front axle applications, these rotors feature a drilled and slotted surface that enhances heat dissipation and maintains optimal brake pad contact. Whether you are upgrading for daily driving, towing, or spirited driving, the Talon rotors deliver consistent stopping power and improved brake feel under demanding conditions.

Built to meet or exceed original equipment specifications, these rotors offer enhanced thermal management and debris expulsion to reduce brake fade and maintain performance in wet or heavy-use scenarios. The Hawk Talon rotors are an ideal upgrade for drivers seeking durable, high-quality braking components without compromising fitment or requiring modifications.

Key Features

Hawk Performance Talon rotors incorporate advanced engineering and rigorous quality testing to ensure superior braking performance. Key features include:

• Drilled and slotted rotor surface for improved heat dissipation and efficient removal of gases, dust, and water
• Vented rotor design to optimize airflow and reduce thermal stress during heavy braking
• Precision milled slots based on Hawk’s proprietary DTC curved slot pattern for enhanced pad bite and reduced harmonic resonance
• Manufactured to original equipment (OE) specifications for exact fit, weight, and performance
• Salt spray tested per ISO-9227, exceeding 240 hours for superior corrosion resistance
• Balanced using CNC programming to minimize vibration and brake noise
• Coated with Magni™ barrier coating to protect against rust and maintain a clean pad surface
• Constructed from premium G3000 metallurgy, a high-quality automotive casting material
• Engineered and finished in ISO-certified North American facilities for consistent quality

Construction & Design

The Talon rotors are crafted from G3000 metallurgy, a robust casting material known for its strength and excellent thermal conductivity. This ensures long-lasting durability and consistent braking performance throughout the rotor’s lifespan. The vented design promotes airflow through the rotor core, significantly improving heat dissipation during intense braking events.

Drilled holes and precision-machined slots work in tandem to expel gases, dust, and moisture, maintaining a clean pad surface and enhancing wet braking capabilities. Each rotor is treated with a Magni™ coating that forms a corrosion-resistant barrier, extending service life and preserving the rotor’s appearance. CNC balancing reduces harmonic resonance, preventing brake noise and vibration for a smoother, quieter driving experience.

Installation & Fitment

This front brake rotor set is designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for Dodge Dakota models from 1997 through 2004 and Dodge Durango models from 1998 through 2003, covering all engine options including 2.5L, 3.9L V6, 4.7L V8, 5.2L V8, and 5.9L V8 variants. No modifications are required, making installation straightforward and hassle-free. These rotors are engineered to match the vehicle’s existing braking system specifications, ensuring seamless integration and reliable performance.
