I have dtc-60 on mine. They’re great track pads, but overkill for your first track day. They’re comically squeaky if you use them around town and def not made for that.
I run the 60s in the front and stock in the rear. The 60s are a lot of braking power specially for your first time. I would not recommend the 70s that will be way too much. They are dusty but I'm at about 50% life on 5 track weekends. One weekend the car almost never shut off. If you are really using them make sure to give them a cool down lap or they will smoke.
I have the dtc60 with rbf600 fluid. No fade at all. Would recommend. If you're tracking only once a year though, make sure to swap back to street pads. The hawks dust a ton and squeal veeery loud.
Been on Hawk HPS 5.0 for over a year now. Good feeling pad.
I went with hps 5.0s and they’re great but I should’ve gone less aggressive
I run Hawk HPS 5.0 on the street and just pad slap DTC-60 / 30 front / rear and it works fine.
The racing shop that does the work on my track car picked out Hawk HPS 5.0 pads for me for this same purpose. They worked great on the track and don't have much more noise than a factory pad.
I'm only in HPDE2, though, so my track evaluation may not mean much. They were definitely an improvement over the stock pads I used in the previous track outing.
I recently switched to DTC-60 for my first full on race pad. Worked fine for my turbo car except my calipers got crazy hot.
2021 Volvo xc40, $900 for front brake pads, rotors, cleaning and labor.
after about halfway through the second session I began to feel a fluttering under hard braking. Some light shaking of the steering wheel. No noticeable pulling left or right. No noticeable brake fade.
Fast forward to the next day. I noticed this black gunk on my front pads. The rears look good as new.
Under normal conditions my Hawk-30 pads squeak. Now I am noticing a rhythmic squeaking when I brake at street speeds.
