I run hawk ceramics in winter and mellow summer driving and run hawk plus pads for the track. I prefer hawk ceramics to OEM but really the OEM are pretty good. The ceramics feel "broken" ie no grab after getting used to hawk plus pads so I agree you should bed your pads and drive em awile to get used to the new feel.

Also bleed your brakes. If there is air in the line your feel will be very weird
