Hey all.

I'm changing calipers on my Silvia and these two Hawk compounds are cost effective in the pad size I'm going to be running.

Just wondering if anyone has run both and can comment on them? The car is a full weight S14 so I'm worried the DTC-60s might be overkill but on the makeshift chart on Hawk's website they list them as both operating from the same lower theshold but with the DTC-60s killing the HT-10s in upper temperature limit.

Does the DTC series simply superseed the HT series?

I have run both but am not sure my results are typical. I've been assured the pads are very similar, and I used them in slightly different setups on the same car....but I found the ht10 terrible and the dtc60 excellent (see avatar.....).

Maybe iI was above the upper limit of the ht10 but under the limit for dtc60.

In any case, I would buy the dtc60 again in a heartbeat if they made them for my current caliper....the dtc60 in gtr brembos gave me better fade resistance and feel than my current porsche brembo/sbs dual carbon setup which is a fiar bit larger.

I can't comment on the Dtc, but i have used the Ht-10's for the last 3 years and really like them. I find them to be very consistent over 12 laps @ Morgan Park which is apparently hard on brakes as there is not much down time for them to cool down.

I've also used HT-10's for years in Targa, and at Symmons Plains. I find them to be very consistant, and last right down to the backing plate (unlike the Pagid RS14 which starts to fall appart as it gets low). I'd be interested to compare the DTC-60's though

sorry a little late....and I have nfi what the rear pads are, they have been in for years. they are a little more aggressive than front because I am an idiot and like a tail that swings a little under brakes

    • Nah, don't bother doing any actual measurements on the car. Just go ask the inter-f**king-net.
    • I currently have 18 x 9 +30 on the front with 18 x 10.5 +38 on the rear. Absolutely regretted it. Ended up putting 15 mm spacers on front and 25 mm spacers on the rear. Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers. Definitely would go more aggressive then what you were originally planning. Keep in mind my guards are rolled and cars fair low so you might possibly need to roll guards depending how aggressive you go and how low the car is. Im not an expert but the 18 x 8.5 +25 18x9.5 +30 Sounds like it would sit much better.
    • Hey guys, sorry i have been researching for a few months and absolutely cannot wrap my head around this. I am about to order some rims to fit my R34 Gtt with coilovers My original plan was to order Rota grid R in 18x8.5 +30 235 40 R18 Fronts 18x9.5 +35 255 35 r18 rears But then the thought in my head said this isnt aggressive enough. I want the most concave spokes i can get without too much of poke and scrubbing   So my thoughts now is  18x8.5 +25 18x9.5 +30   My question is will this be the most aggressive i could get it without any guard rolling and does the type of rim style affect the offset / size.   Thanks everyone.
    • Lower parts are there. On passenger seat, bright yellow bit is the release mount. On drivers, bright yellow bit is the lower buckle for the other side. My bet is lowers are tucked out of the way as much as possible for visuals.
    • I'm guessing its a 4 point harness, 3 of the 4 belts are visible. I'm guessing the hidden belt is tucked down between the seat and door.
