• Superior Rotor and Pad Wear: Engineered for durability, these pads help minimize rotor and pad wear, ensuring reliable performance over extended use and reducing maintenance intervals.
• Excellent Modulation and Release: The design offers precise control over braking force, allowing drivers to modulate pressure effectively for optimal braking response and fade resistance during intense sessions.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for a wide range of racing disciplines including NASCAR, ARCA, Super Late Models, pavement circle track, and off-road racing, making them a flexible choice for various high-performance vehicles.
• Aggressive Initial Bite: Provides immediate braking response upon pedal application, reducing stopping distances and improving driver confidence at high speeds.
• High-Temperature Performance: Formulated to perform reliably under extreme heat conditions generated during racing, maintaining consistent friction levels and preventing fade.
• Split Friction Compatibility: Can be used alone or in combination with DTC-60 pads for tailored braking setups, offering flexibility for different racing scenarios.

Construction & Design

The DTC-70 brake pads feature a high-performance, high-torque compound bonded to a durable backing plate designed to withstand the rigors of racing. The friction material is formulated for rapid heat dissipation and fade resistance, ensuring consistent performance during prolonged high-speed braking. The pads are engineered with a focus on modulation and release, providing drivers with precise control and confidence in their braking system. The design incorporates advanced manufacturing techniques to ensure uniform pad density and optimal contact with the rotor, resulting in predictable and reliable braking behavior.

Installation & Fitment

The Hawk Performance DTC-70 brake pads are designed as direct replacements for compatible calipers used in racing and high-performance vehicles. Installation is straightforward for those familiar with brake system maintenance, typically involving removing the existing pads and installing the new ones with standard hardware. No special modifications, cutting, or drilling are required, making it a bolt-on upgrade for your vehicle's braking system. For optimal performance, it is recommended to inspect and service your rotors and calipers during pad replacement.
