Brake pads?

Alright... It's getting time to get some new pads for the Rx7. What brands/prices are reccommended? The purpose of the cars is heavily biased towards autocross, but they still need to stop on the street when they are cold and not cost a fortune?

I've heard Hawk is good? Which ones front/ back? Other brands? Just gathering opinions...

Hawk HP Plus...I think the fronts are like $52 a set from Tire Rack, not sure on the rear. Awesome AutoX pads, and great on the street.

Does anyone run with the Hawk HPS pads?

They say they're gentle on rotors and I'm wondering if someone can confirm that. Also, are the HPS model pads really better than stock? TIA
