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.

Brake Pads
Brake pads are the most frequently replaced brake component, and upgrading from stock pads delivers immediate improvements in stopping distance, pedal feel, and fade resistance. From daily-driver ceramic pads to track-spec metallic compounds, there is a brake pad for every application. Popular ProductsTop brake pad brands include EBC Brakes, Hawk Performance, StopTech, and Akebono. Popular compound choices include ceramic pads for low dust and quiet operation, semi-metallic for improved bite, and full metallic for track use.
