#1 - pad compound. Street cars don't get race pads for reasons involving poor bite when cold, and significantly dustier, noisier, and harsher on rotor faces. Hawk's HP+ is really a sort-of-streetable entry-level track pad that may still not be enough for you; Hawk's better stuff starts with HT or DTC designations. In Carbotech, XP10 or higher.
#2 - additional cooling. I don't see any ducting. You need this.
#3 - I suspect that some here may be unaware of your two wheel track experience.
Off-topic and out of curiosity, did you happen to notice a blue Mustang (2013?) running the number 710 in painter's tape? A guy from one of the Mustang forms I belong to was making his "big track" debut, after about 20 years autocrossing (IOW, he's not a 20-something).

Hey Norm,yes i will be running the Hawks from now on.I will keep the stock pads for the street,but change pads before track day's.Yes,i do want and need a brake cooling set up.Im going to get the Quantum set up from JDP. I really like Dropspeeds set up though,just a little out of my ability to do,and price range.
