Next year i'd like to do HPDE so i figured these would be the best pads. Honestly I can deal with some brake dust, or some noise, but its the extremes that kill me. Literally after driving the car for....10 miles you could write your name in the car.
If you are planning on HPDE events from everything I have read the Hawk HPS's are not going to be a good track pad. They will over heat and then you will get pad fade. If you want to run Hawk pads for track days the popular combination for that is DTC70's for the front and DTC 60's for the rear. If you want good advice from a guy that builds track cars for people I would send Justice Pete a private message. He will tell you all you want to know about brake pads for track use.
