Well for HIGH temps i use Carbotech... great pad construction and temp abilities. If you are REALLY flogging the brakes (track day) they will only last a couple of days. But that's to be expected on the track.

Street driving i'm sure you won't get them hot enough to wear them that quick.

And +1 on the Hawks... they'll eat your rotors alive.

Just installed the Carbotech XP8s and Motul RBF600 this weekend. No noise out of them yet. After bedding them, it looks like they may make a lot of dust. Need to clean the wheels and see how they do under normal driving.

BTW, these brakes are awesome. I'm sure the stock brakes would of failed about half way through the way I bedded them. They grab more than stock so you'll need a lighter foot on them.

Now I can go hot into turns without fear of brake fade.
