I have SPL front arms, so no vorshlag mode for me.
There is an SPL option for the deflectors.

I have been running DTC 70/60 on my car for 8 track days and have had no issues with them. I have quite a bit left on the pads. They stop really well and my rotor wear looks good.
Two years later - are you still a fan of the DTC70/60 combo for your GT? I will take delivery of my 2022 mach1 HP in a week or so, and be hitting the track on 100-240 treadwear 305/315 tires about a month later. Im hesitating between a Hawk 70/60 or 60/30 combo, or perhaps an G-loc r18/r12.

Ive done about 8 seasons of general HPDE events and about 4 of those years as an instructor.

Your thoughts?

Yes, I am still on the same 70/60 set up. The pad wear is pretty even between the front and rear. Have a new set of pads and rotors for the front sitting in my office ready when needed. Will just need pads for the rear when ready. I am surprised on how long they have lasted but I may be easier on them then some of you all.

Thanks you very much for the feedback. Nothing beats actual track experiences. This solidifies my decision.

I ran DTC70/60's on my previous track toy, ie, modded BMW 135i. My 135i was used for dual-duty but the suspension setup left to be desired. Its weight was about 600 Lbs less than the Mach1, it made about 400WHP, and ran on 255/35R18 square setup with 100-200TW tires most of the time.

I think I might go with your 70/60combo ...
