I've been very happy with the HT-10s on my track C4S. Be sure to get them hot, then great bite and control.

I really like the HT-10's, probably my favorite pad for the price. I ran a couple of set of DTC70's and think they are slightly better for my driving style but am not sure they are worth the extra price. I just ran my first set of PFC97's and was quite impressed with their consistency and longevity. I think the Hawk pads do have more initial bite though.

I once used up brand new Hawk plus pads in one DE day at Moroso, did about 110 miles, drove back with "metal to metal" brake pads.

Interesting opinion....... I've always found the Hawk Blue's to be excellent at taking off rotor deposits that other pads leave behind. Hell, that's all I use them for right now.

I've tried Pagids (orange), Comp Friction (90 series??) and Hawk Blues and HT 10s. I prefer the HT10s to all others. The pagids left a film and essentially had to be "rebedded" at events after the car sat in the garage for a few weeks. The folks I've seen who used the blacks did not have this problem but they appeared to be almost as dusty as the Hawks. The comp frictions were great but incredibly dusty. The Hawk Blues were great but as I stepped up braking over the past few years they would smoke- I went to the HT10s and couldn't be happier. They're a bit dusty but that's what the air hose (at events) and simple green and power washer (after events) is for. They're very communicative (easy to modulate) and stop me like a wall.

My wheels gleam without much effort (FM10s and 5s) if you let the crap build up (no matter what pad) you'll have hell getting it off.

Absolutely right. I don't know why people keep buying the Oranges. Maybe because they cost less? It is a false economy because the RS-19s stop better, don't have material buildup, dust less and last longer.

I ran a set of the 19's and also liked them. I haven't tried the 29's. I can't say they were "better" than DTC70's but I did like them. And yes, I also think Orange's suck.
