    Ok . More rear brake loosens car , but slows it down , right! Then add power at the same time , car still loose , actually looser , and doesn't slow down. Result is hot brakes requiring high temp metallic pads ! Sparks are the result ! Also would require warming of the rear pads during pace laps which I have noted. Hmmm. Maybe ?

        Ive ran those, great stopping power but had rotors glowing solid after 2 minutes in tech and cracked to pieces..

        They don't throw too many sparks. dtc 30 are the flame throwers.

          Unless they drastically changed the DTC 30 compound it's not those . I ran DTC 30's before and they were useless . I now have wilwood A compound and they have twice the braking power of those DTC 30 pads. The pads making the sparks are supposed to be some
          Old PFC compound that they don't make anymore and Bloomquist bought the last 500 sets or something ridiculous ...

            DTC-30 for sure. I've tried Hawk Black, Blue, Wilwood E-pad, Performance Friction 97, and DTC-30. DTC-30 throws the sparks. I have not had an issue with the DTC-30 wearing too fast, or wearing the rotors too fast. I put about 25 shows on a set of pads before replacing them. Very minimal rotor wear. Best pad I've used so far.

              Gator pads were notorious for throwing a shower of sparks, but they were VERY hard on rotors.
