Hawk HPS pads here they give a nice bite. When I do rear disc I may use them or a cheaper set of semi-metallic pads. Right now my brake pedal has a long throw before it gets firm so I'm gonna have to work on that. I also have SS Brake lines.

Hawk HPS on the street (not my favorite pad by any means)
Carbotech AX6 on the track (upgrading to XP10 or XP12 next season)

Autozone quality front rotors with Hawk HPS, great for street. Compared to my old PBR ceramics are **** compared to these HPS's.

O'Reilly Wagner - Thermoquiet

why:
- low noise
- low dust
- semi metallic
- lifetime warrenty (it covers normal wear/tear )

hawk HPS here.

i dont know what people mean by quiet. but they dont make any noise compared to stock pads

cold bite is good/warm bite is also very good

i'd go HP+ for street/ occassional tracking

i agree...though i'm sure the HPS's will hold up okay on the track.

I run Hawk HPS pads, and brembo blanks. It stops very well. Very good combo
