I recently replaced my stock, factory brake pads with Hawk HPS pads. The Hawk HPS pads are a great street pad but they're not ideal for significant track use. I've been on a couple road courses here in Arizona and I think the factory, OEM pads had less fade when they got hot. The OEM pads seemed to have a better initial bite too. The only good things I've noticed about the Hawk HPS pads is they produce less dust and seem to last longer.
I've experimented with different street tires and the Pirelli P-Zero's are great for street and track duty. They have great traction once they heat up and the sidewall has minimal flex. The only negative thing is they wear down quicker than other Summer street tires.
