Oh yes -- IMHO forget the Hawk pads. I tried them and wondered "Where's the great braking, modulation and feel I was looking for?" Rather, I would strongly recommend Cobalt Friction GT Sports (if a DD) or for mostly track time you can't go wrong with some Cobalt Friction XR2 front / XR5 rear for HPDE3/HPDE4 use. The XR5s are not listed on their site, but they are specially formulated to help reduce rear unweighting on cars that have that propensity. They make them for the RX-8 (I run that combo) and they are AMAZING!
