As for the longest lasting track/DD pads. That depends on the track and your experience. The more track time you get. The faster you become. The shorter your pad life. I've known guys to change pads after each track day. Rotors play a part in this to. I have Racing Brake 2 piece rotors. Which is a HARD rotor. I haven't tracked yet with the Carbotech's and these rotors. So I may be changing the pads to something with more bit. Most of the other rotors out there are a softer iron.

Furthermore, the reason I am asking is because I have used OEM pads and rotors for several track days and am putting up some good times. I don't have a goal in mind to become a Joe Pro race car driver, just want a good set of pads and rotors on and off the track.

So you have been reasonably pleased with OEM pads so far. Got it.
So you don't push your braking on the track. Got it.

This is all very relevant information that you did not provide in your OP

The Hawk HP+ pads should be fine for you. Lots of other pad options out there as well. Carbotech has the right idea though: they say their street pads are not suitable for any track use.
