which pad do I want?
I'm in the market for new pads after doing this to DTC-30 after 3-hours of track time:
Should I go back to Hawk Blue rotor eaters, use the PFC-97 rotor eaters, try DTC-70 or 60, or try Hawk HT-10? I'm not sure what else to try but I'm tired of spending money on brake ****.

Its not a driving problem, I'm driving the same way I drove with the sport brakes when i did not have this problem (pad taper). I think this was a heat problem with the corrado rotors, so I'm switching to Racing Brake. I don't have the money to buy $1000 overlay equipment and a camera, so that's never going to happen.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but whatever I did wrong only affected the front right. How can I adjust my driving style to make the 300* temp differential on one side go away since its obviously a driver issue and not an equipment issue?

I think a rotor with the vent inlet on the correct side, with a directionally veined rotor will drop rotor temps significantly, and I just called Hawk and they said I should run the DTC-60 and it will be very kind to rotors and work up to 1400*.
win.

Hawk said the 60s would be fine? My understanding with hawk pads is that one must replace rotors everytime pads get replaced. I wonder if we could kill a set of pads on the rotors and throw another set of hawks on the same rotors. That would be nice, i know carbotechs can do that.
