Hawk 1978-1982 Chevy Corvette DTC-70 Rear Race Brake Pads

Hawk Performance is well-known for making brake components that offer a serious step up in stopping power. If you're working on a 1966 through 1982 Chevrolet Corvette and need rear brake pads that can handle more than just daily driving, these DTC-70 race pads are a solid option. They are built to give you a noticeable increase in stopping force, especially when things get hot.

The DTC-70 compound is designed for high torque applications, meaning it grips hard when you need it most. You'll find these pads offer excellent control over your braking, with a smooth initial bite that doesn't feel grabby, and great modulation so you can easily adjust your stopping power. They are also made to be tough on wear, both for the pads themselves and your rotors, which means you get consistent performance over time. This compound is also known for its high-temperature resistance, so you won't experience as much fade during hard braking compared to standard pads.

These pads are a direct fit for your Corvette, making installation straightforward. Just remember that race compounds like this are typically designed for track or performance driving and may require a bedding-in procedure to perform at their best. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for proper installation and break-in.
