if you run blue or black hawks, its going to shred your rotors before the pads. If they don't get into their designated heat range, you're wasting your money. Get a set of dustless street pads, then a set of track pads. I will probably go this direction when I get the turbo bits.

FWIW, i'm running Axxis Ultimates daily, they were $85 shipped i think for front and rear on ebay from a seller who has them frequently listed. They're a good daily pad, alot more bite than OEM and they cost just a little more.

I need brakes to stop me at 120mph.

I say axxis for people who pussyfoot their car around as a DD with maybe an autocross here and there. They're cheap and better than stock, only reason i run them for now.

Good pads Porterfield R4 for the track, R4S for street. Quiet, do not wear the rotors. I haven't tried Hawks.
