Replaced OEM pads with Hawk HPS for street. Yes I swap out for track to HP+ but with the Sport brakes it is just a couple minutes a corner (plus I rotate tire after each event) I have read all the bad reviews about Hawk- but they work for me and my style of driving- feel very confident on track- stock rotors and virtually no wear at 40 K miles and a bunch of great track days. I do HPDE 3 and am right in the mix so do not think I am taking it easy on the track. I do it for fun so I am certainly not pushing everything to the extreme limit but 127 MPH on a short straight into a chicane at 70 mph should test any brakes.

I should also add ZERO oil consumption even after tracking and still rides like new.
