Hawk Performance Ceramic pads on the front and rear. In the past 2-months I've run 2-track days (Buttonwillow and AutoClub Speedway Roval) and I'm really impressed with their fade-resistance after 6-7 hotlaps (17+ minutes) into a session.

Pros: good fade-resistance
Cons: dust factor equal HPS

Hawk HPS review: Very good stopping performance, very close to OEM pads. Maybe slightly less initial bite. Less noise than the OEM pad. Very quiet, really. These pads produce less dust than the OEM, probably half as much nasty dust. I can go days without having to clean the wheels now. I'm pretty sure they can handle more heat than the OEM pads as well.

Pros: very good stopping performance, less noise
Cons: slightly less initial bite

Update: I changed out the rear pads without difficulty and the brake hardware looked normal. I replaced the worn pads with Hawk Ceramics (ECS Tuning), greased the calipers up and will hope for the best.

Pros: brake hardware looked normal

I have run HPS, HP+, DS2500, and P+. Blues are in another world entirely from HPS. HPS is a decent, not great, street pad. It isn't low dust, but it is firm and even friction. HP+ is more bitey, quite firm, squeals like a baby, and dusts like crazy.

Pros: firm and even friction
Cons: not a great street pad, isn't low dust

I would steer away from the Hawk HPS pads for track use. I used em just for a track day and they were starting to fade. Like someone else mentioned, the Hawk HP plus is better

Cons: starting to fade
