Are these brake pads suitable for daily driving?

The DTC-70 compound is designed for high-temperature track use. While they offer controllable braking, they may produce more dust and noise than street-focused pads, and their optimal performance is achieved under demanding conditions.

What is brake fade and how do these pads help prevent it?

Brake fade occurs when brakes overheat and lose effectiveness. These pads are engineered to maintain their stopping power at high temperatures, significantly reducing the risk of fade during repeated hard braking on a track.

Do these pads come with hardware?

This product listing is for the brake pads only. It is recommended to check the manufacturer's specifications or contact customer support to confirm if any installation hardware is included or if it needs to be purchased separately.

Product Details

Hawk Performance DTC-70 front race brake pads are built for serious track use, offering a significant upgrade over stock pads for vehicles like the Porsche 911 (1969-1989), Alfa Romeo Spider (1969-1982), and Mercedes-Benz 300SEL (1968-1972). If you're pushing your car hard on the track, you need a brake pad that can keep up with the heat and demands of repeated hard braking. These pads are designed to provide that capability.

The DTC-70 compound is known for its high torque output, meaning it bites hard and stops your vehicle effectively. It also handles high temperatures very well, which is crucial for preventing brake fade during extended track sessions. This translates to more consistent pedal feel and reliable stopping power when you need it most. You'll also notice improved pad and rotor wear compared to many other race compounds, helping to extend the life of your braking components.

While these are race-oriented pads, they offer controllable high torque with a smooth initial bite, making them manageable even in demanding situations. If you're looking to get the most out of your braking system during track days or autocross events, these Hawk DTC-70 pads are a solid choice.
