After I took them out in the paddock, the pad material literally broke loose of the back plate. Yes, the pad disintegrated in my hands (there was plenty of compound left--around 6mm I'd say). I will call them and complain. I don't want to even think about what would have happened if the pad had fallen apart like that at the bus stop at 150mph...
Wow, that sucks! I've never had that happen with a set of hawk pads and I think I've been through 15 sets (DTC70s, and one set of HT10s) across both cars now. Your experience is similar to a friend of mine's with the RS19, which is why I have been surprised to hear such great things about that compound.

When there is a pfc compound available, call it done.
