I just ran a set of DTC-30s for the first time myself and am very impressed. Unlike the Blue, they don't fade away after 3-4 laps. The HT-10 was better than the Blue but the DTC-30 is far superior. Even better was that in the rain, the DTC-30 still has a good amount of feel unlike other pads that are an on/off switch.
If only I had cars to race, I'd have been happier. >________________________________ > From: Chad Rebuck <[email protected]> >To: Volkswagen a2 16v discussion list <[email protected]> >Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2012 12:18 PM >Subject: Re: [a2-16v-list] Oil temp / brakes at the track > >The hawk dtc-30 pads on the front (mintex redbox still on the rear) worked >perfect at the track this weekend.
