Hawk 15-16 Cadillac XTS / Chevrolet Corvette DTC-70 Front Brake Pads
The Hawk Performance DTC-70 Front Brake Pads (HB910U.590) deliver race-proven stopping power for 2015–2016 Cadillac XTS and 2014–2019 Chevrolet Corvette C7 models, engineered with Hawk’s highest-friction DTC compound that provides unmatched initial bite, consistent torque output, and superior modulation across a 400–1600°F temperature range compared to OEM pads or street-oriented compounds. Designed specifically for aggressive track use and heavy-duty street applications, the DTC-70 formulation maintains linear pedal feel and fade-free performance during repeated hard stops, offering Corvette and XTS owners a dedicated pad that outbrakes lesser race compounds in heat tolerance while remaining rotor-friendly with minimal dust and noise for dual-purpose builds. The unique ferro-carbon matrix ensures predictable release and recovery, making it the choice of club racers and performance shops who demand championship-level braking without the harshness or wear of full ceramic alternatives.
