Hawk Powerlite dct-30 Brake Pads (7912) Pad Shape

Hawk DTC-30 Brake Pads — 7912 Shape (17Z/18Z Calipers)
When street pads tap out, these step up.

If you’ve got Powerlite calipers and you're starting to cook your “performance street” pads at the track, it’s time to move into real motorsport territory. Hawk DTC-30 pads are the entry point into Hawk’s dedicated track compounds—offering excellent fade resistance, solid bite, and repeatable performance lap after lap.

DTC-30s are designed for lighter cars doing aggressive HPDE, time attack, or sprint racing where rotor temperatures can spike fast. They’ve got a more linear torque curve than some of the more aggressive DTC compounds, which makes them a great fit for track cars that still need a bit of control and modulation—not just raw bite.

These are not street pads. But if your build sees consistent track time, these will hold up where HPS and similar options won’t.

Why You’ll Like These:
Real race compound with great modulation
Handles sustained high rotor temps without fade
Predictable torque curve—easier to modulate under trail braking
Harder compound means longer life under race conditions
