I had DTC70s for about 2 months and tossed them without even using them up. Terrible pad. Never used a Hawk pad I liked.
Cons: terrible pad

Consider Carbotech pads. I ran XP12/XP10 combo. They worked well on my C5. I tried the Hawk DTC70/60 combo and didn't like how fast they could eat a rotor. The stopping force on them is incredible.
Pros: incredible stopping force
Cons: eat rotors fast
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Corvette C5
You absolutely do not want DTC70s on street. They will devour your rotors and vice versa.
Cons: devour rotors, not for street
Vehicle:
Mazda
Just put Zimmerman rotors and the Hawk Street pads on my non- PP gti. These pads unfortunately shift up and down and make a loud “clank” when braking on transition from 1st to reverse. They still bite great
Pros: bite great
Cons: loud clank, pads shift
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I've heard good stuff about the Hawk ones but I use Hawk HPS myself
Pros: good stuff
Vehicle:
Mazda
Stoptech stainless steel brake lines and slotted Rotors, Hawk ceramic pads.
Vehicle:
Subaru
For very little money I also upgraded the brakes to StopTech slotted rotors, braided SS brake lines, and Hawk HP pads. Never had brake fade even at tracks like Road America with heavy high speed braking.
Pros: no brake fade
I'm running standard DBA 4000 blank rotors with Hawk HPS 5.0 pads. My only complaint is they seem to make a lot of brake dust so I'll probably try other pads when these wear through.
Cons: make a lot of brake dust
Vehicle:
Subaru
Part number: 4000
I would stick to oem or hawk pads.
Hawk 5.0 street. Very nice stoppers they make.
Pros: very nice stoppers
