DTC-50 Front Brake Pads

The Hawk Performance HB247V.575 brake pads are engineered with the DTC-50 compound, a formulation developed through extensive testing to meet the demands of high-level racing. This compound provides a compelling combination of very high torque and an aggressive initial bite, bridging the gap between other DTC race compounds and offering enhanced performance. Key characteristics of the DTC-50 compound include its consistent performance across a wide temperature range, specifically 500-1100 Deg F for both optimal and operating temperatures. They are confirmed to be compatible with cross-drilled rotors. It is important to note that these are intended strictly for racing use and are not recommended for street applications. Additionally, the aggressiveness of the DTC-50 compound results in a higher-than-average wear rate. The manufacturer also advises against using these pads on the rear axle or on the front axle of vehicles weighing less than 2800 lbs. These front brake pads are specifically designed to fit the 1997-2013 Chevrolet Corvette (including Base and Z51 trims), the 2005-2006 Pontiac GTO, and the 2004-2009 Cadillac XLR.
