Did willow springs yesterday, ran 5 - 20 minutes sessions on my hawk HPS's. I also ran brake ducts, new SS lines and all new dot 4 fluid. Flawless brakiing.

HT 14 Very high torque with aggressive initial bite. Excellent modulation and release characteristics. Brake pads designed for cars with extremely high deceleration rates and down force.

HT-10 Intermediate to high torque with a smooth initial bite. Very consistent pedal feel. Excellent modulation and release characteristics.

Blue 9012 Medium/High torque and temperature compound with excellent brake modulation. #1 selling brake pad material for SCCA.

Blue MT4 Medium/High torque and temperature compound with Medium/High initial bite. Brake pads designed for circle track cars under 2800 lbs without high deceleration rates.

Black Medium torque and temperature compound designed to be a good, all-purpose low- cost racing brake pad.

DR 97 Excellent static and dynamic coefficient of friction. Smooth linear torque. Low pad and rotor wear. Brake pads specifically designed for use in drag racing applications.

HT10s are more aggressive than blue. Blues do not eat even the cheapest of rotors. On the street I run FR-BLUE 9012/RR-HPP. On the track I run FR-HT10/RR-Blue 9012.

Thanks for the correction on that. After reading their site, clearly, my earlier statement was wrong, and if you're saying you run the Blues on the street with no rotor problems, then that makes sense

. I think I got that information from a couple guys I race with who claimed that the Blues were hard on rotors

. But, according to Hawk themselves, and yourself, Blues are a less aggressive pad.

Also, looks like the DTC70's are supposed to be even better than the HT14's!
