if you want race compound get the hawk blue 9012 compound.

my friend who is a porsche instructor for PCCA uses these exclusively for his dedicated track car. he just bought a few sets from me.

I used Hawk HT-10 pads on my M5. Even on track in cold weather, it was hard getting them to optimal temp.

haha dtc70 Hawk... hahah if they make dust then they are stopping the car...The UPS truck sound is extra with these pads... hell I have absolutely no idea what I run with in daily driver mode! Just kiddin... dtc70 is a track only... but I would recommend hawk as well. If you call the corp office you get a person. You want to talk to someone technical about an application you ask and you get that person's cell number. i wish all company's were like this.

Link is for street use but again... you have to wash your rims or else they will look like your breaks are working and functioning properly... DUST is GOOD

for track days I NOW swap out the oem's and put in the dtc70 and swap them out before I go home.

Crap...!!!

Put me on your calender / google calender as a reminder to buy dtc 70 pads front rear next march or even end of august this year... have nhms and watkins glen going into september and october. maybe Monticello will put some wear on them. Stock pads i get free from the dealership.


you guys need to start publishing a weekly email update! man...make sure you put some really cheap suggestive sale items in there too... I like getting ups packages at work that say racing on it - very distracting!
