Rear HPX Compound for the Sport-Trim Infiniti and Nissan Z34 Platform
The 2010-2011 Infiniti FX50 Sport, 2009-2010 Infiniti G37 Sport, and 2009-2010 Nissan 370Z Sport all share compatible rear brake caliper geometry that Hawk Performance part HB602C.545 was engineered to fit. The HPX compound delivers the clean modulation and smooth initial bite that autocross and track-day drivers rely on, operating optimally from 100 to 600 degrees F and safely to 700 degrees F. These are motorsports pads and are not rated for street use.
Key Features

- Optimal temperature range: 100 to 600 degrees F; operating ceiling: 700 degrees F
- Fits the rear caliper on HB602C.545-compatible FX50 Sport, G37 Sport, and 370Z Sport trims
- Smooth initial bite and clean modulation suited to the rear bias of the FX50, G37, and 370Z platforms
- Hawk Performance dynamometer and field validation on HB602C.545 compound/shape combination
- Not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors; iron and steel rotor use only
- Race-use configuration no shims included
- Hawk Performance limited lifetime warranty on HB602C.545
What's Included
- One set of Hawk HPX rear brake pads (HB602C.545) for 2010-2011 Infiniti FX50 Sport, 2009-2010 Infiniti G37 Sport, and 2009-2010 Nissan 370Z Sport
Installation Instructions
- Lift the vehicle safely on jackstands and remove the rear wheels.
- Remove the caliper slide pin bolts and pivot the caliper free of the rotor. Hang it from the suspension using a hook rather than stressing the brake line.
- Slide the old pads out of the caliper bracket and clean all contact surfaces.
- Retract the rear caliper pistons using a wind-back tool if the vehicle is equipped with an integrated rear parking brake piston.
- Seat the new HB602C.545 HPX pads in the caliper bracket, reinstall the caliper, and torque the slide pin bolts to the factory specification for the applicable Infiniti or Nissan model.
- Reinstall rear wheels and pump the brake pedal to bring the pistons into contact with the new pad surface.
- Perform the Hawk bed-in procedure on track before aggressive braking events.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does HB602C.545 also fit non-Sport trim G37 or 370Z models?
The Sport trim on these models uses a larger rear caliper. Non-Sport base trims may use a different caliper and require verification. Confirm your specific caliper casting numbers before ordering HB602C.545.
Is HB602C.545 compatible with the 2011+ 370Z or later G37 model years?
HB602C.545 is validated for the 2009-2010 370Z and G37. For 2011 and later model years, the caliper specification may differ; verify fitment with a Hawk Performance dealer.
What is the compound thickness in HB602C.545?
The suffix .545 indicates a friction material thickness of 0.545 inches, directly encoded in Hawk's part numbering format.
Can these pads be used in conjunction with performance rear rotors on the G37?
Yes. HB602C.545 is compatible with performance slotted or drilled iron rotors of the appropriate size for the G37 and FX50 Sport rear brake system.
Does the 370Z's Viscous Limited Slip Differential affect brake pad selection?
No. The brake pad operates independently of the differential. HB602C.545 installs in the rear caliper and is unaffected by the 370Z's differential configuration.
What happens if HB602C.545 pads are used before reaching operating temperature?
HPX compound provides reduced friction output below its 100 to 600 degree F optimal window. Cold braking performance will be noticeably reduced compared to properly heat-cycled pads, which is a characteristic of all race compounds.
Are wear sensors included with HB602C.545?
No. Hawk HPX motorsports pads do not include wear sensor clips. Inspect pad material thickness visually before every track session.
Is HB602C.545 the correct pad for the FX50 without the Sport package?
Fitment should be confirmed for FX50 non-Sport variants. The Sport trim caliper used for this fitment reference may differ from base FX50 hardware.

Brake Pads
Brake pads are the most frequently replaced brake component, and upgrading from stock pads delivers immediate improvements in stopping distance, pedal feel, and fade resistance.

Full metallic and racing compounds are reserved for track use where extreme heat resistance is needed. How do I know when brake pads need replacement?Most brake pads include a wear indicator that creates a squealing sound when pad thickness reaches the minimum limit. ...
