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.

Key Features

  • DTC-70 Ferro-Carbon Compound: Highest friction level in Hawk lineup (μ 0.70) for maximum stopping power
  • 400–1600°F Operating Range: Excels in extreme heat with linear torque and zero fade
  • Consistent Pedal Feel: Predictable modulation from threshold to lockup for precise trail braking
  • Rotor-Friendly Formula: Minimizes wear on iron rotors versus aggressive ceramic compounds
  • Low Dust & Noise: Ideal for dual-purpose track/street vehicles with dark wheels
  • Direct OE Shape: Perfect fitment for Brembo 6-piston front calipers
  • Made in USA: Dyno-tested and track-validated for C7 Corvette and XTS applications

Product Notes

  • Front pads only, pair required for complete axle set
  • Race-oriented compound, bedding procedure mandatory for optimal performance
  • Not intended for daily-driven cold operation, best when paired with DTC-60 rear
  • Compatible with factory Brembo 6-piston calipers, no modifications required
  • Warranty: Hawk Performance limited warranty against defects
  • Shipping: Standard ground, lightweight packaging

Installation Notes

  • Remove wheels, retract caliper pistons with spreader tool
  • Clean hub face and apply anti-squeal to pad backs
  • Bed pads per Hawk 20-stop procedure for proper transfer layer
  • Torque caliper bolts to factory spec (typically 125 ft-lb)
  • Tools required: 14mm socket, breaker bar, torque wrench, est. time: 45 min per axle
