Recommended with DTC-70 when split friction between axles is desired, it has excellent modulation and release characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eExpert Opinion\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDTC-60 has the same temperature range as DTC-70, but produces less brake torque. Many racers of lighter, smaller cars such as the Miata and S2000 will run DTC-60 Front and DTC-30 Rear. On larger, heavier, cars such as Corvettes, Mustangs, Porsches, BMWs and other specialty race cars, the DTC-60 is run on the rear with DTC-70 up front. This is not an entry level race compound and should not be driven on the street. Use when you are a serious racer with track experience and have had issues with less aggressive compounds overheating or not providing enough bite.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHawk Performance DTC-60 Race Compound Characteristics:\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuperior Release and Torque Control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVery Low Pad and Rotor Wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh Torque\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent Modulation and Release Characteristics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplicable to NASCAR, NASCAR modified, ARCA, Super Late models, pavement circle track, Pro 2, Pro 4 Off Road Trucks, Pro Lite, Sports Car, GT, GS, Open Wheel, Formula, Monster Trucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStable Friction Output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e400-1600 Deg F Operating Temperature Range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e600-1200 Deg F Optimal Temperature Range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHawk Race Compound Chart\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Hawk Performance Race Compound Chart\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0047\/8865\/0055\/files\/Hawk_Race_Compound_Chart.jpg?v=1616616296\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Hawk Performance DTC-60 Characteristics\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0047\/8865\/0055\/files\/Hawk_DTC_60_Characteristics.jpg?v=1616690471\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cimg alt=\"Warning Prop 65\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0047\/8865\/0055\/files\/prop65_10pt.png?v=1611080686\"\u003e WARNING\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis product can expose you to Silica, crystalline (airborne particles of respirable size), which is known to the State of California to cause cancer.
