Ran DTC 70's in front and 60's in rear for quite a while with no problems.

Now running 70's all around. Can tell a diffrence in trailbraking into a corner. Rear of the car is more prone to trying to pass the front but managable. Still running this setup.

DTC 70's are prone to running very hot. Cool air is your friend. If you go the 70's route you will need at a minimum a front spindle duct kit. We went further and routed the duct work to the front grille area of the car and havent had any fade yet.

It was still an issue with just the spidle ducts. But no where near as bad as just running what came on the car. And pad life increased 10 fold

I have the spindle ducts already and titanium shims.
I was wondering if I use DTC 60 in the front what should I use in rear...same or HP PLus? or would I be better off DTC all around like you did in the past.

If you go 60's in the front id just stick with 60's in the rear. Interchangable pads from front to rear are a plus aswell.

70's front, 60's rear. The initial bite is a bit aggresive and you will probably see greater rotor wear. I switched to Cobalts.

70s up front and 60s in back for me. No issues but brake ducting is advisable as screamin z said.

Front:

Carbotech™ XP20™

The latest iteration of the highly successful XP™ series of compounds. XP20™ is a step up from the highly successful XP16™ compound. With an extremely aggressive initial bite, the most linear torque curve to date and excellent fade resistance the XP20™ leads the highly successful XP™ series line of compounds from Carbotech™. XP20™ has a temperature range of 275°F to 2000°F+ (135°C to 1093°C+). Carbotech™ XP20™ maintains our tradition of having the outstanding release and modulation that has made all other Carbotech™ compounds so successful. The XP20™ as with other Carbotech™ compounds is very rotor friendly. Carbotech™ XP20™ is NOT recommended for use as a daily driven street pad due to possible elevated levels of dust and noise.

Rear:

Carbotech™ XP10™

When Carbotech™ unleashed the XP10™ to the general public it was an instant success. XP10™ immediately gathered multiple regional, divisional, and national championships. The XP10™ has a very strong initial bite friction material with a coefficient of friction and rotor friendliness unmatched in the industry. Fade resistance is in excess of 1650°F (898°C). Due to the high level of friction and bite, this material is recommended for cars weighing around 2,900lbs or less. XP10™ still maintains the highly praised release, excellent modulation and rotor friendliness that have made all Carbotech™ compounds so successful. Carbotech™ XP10™ is not recommended as a daily-driven street pad due to possible elevated levels of dust and noise.

I run Hoosiers R6's but by no means do I race head to head at high speeds. The tracks I run I might get to 140mph.... I ran last year with DTC 60 front and HP Plus rears. I never felt any brake fade with these compounds. What to you recommend for me...XP20 or something less abrasive... Are Xp20's easily controlled or are then abrupt in thier bite..?

Another vote for CarboTechs
XP10 fronts and XP8s rear, try them and you will never go back.

Do you recommend single piece pads? Why would you go with multiple piece pads?

hamdog

DT70s front and back. Works well!

Adam@Amp'dAutosport.com

I would use the 1 piece design, do not even ask about padlets. The 1 piece gives more even wear and about 15% more pad surface. If you are not going head to head thats ok tthe XP20 is the newest pad out and we have had alot of success with it this is the way to go.

Give me a call I will be happy to help you out.

The padlets make it easier to manage pad life. For instance, you can't get a Hawk DTC 60 front pad kit from Hawk. That limits what you can do if you are using the single piece pads. However, if you buy three of their rear padlet kits you can run DTC60 front and rear or just in the front with HP+ in the rear. The C6Z calipers tend to wear certain padlets more than others so you are always swapping them around to maximize wear. When all the pads you have are the same compound and fit front and rear calipers you can throw worn ones in a box and then go back and pick and choose over a few days as pads wear and you need to replace them.
