I think the blacks will eat the rotors really fast. I'm not too sure, but they have a high temp need to be effective, so you probally will get less stopping power because they are not able to get up to proper temperatures. Send em back. The HP+ are the ones you need.

HP+ is the one that will eat rotors - I was advised to use HPS for the street by Hawk and Race Central in Portland.
Right now I'm running Powerslot rotors in front with Hawk HPS and have no problems.

I know guys runnin HP+ on the street. I know the Black is the track on ly one. You will never get the pads hot enough to work well on the street.

Hawk Black is a road race compound, you don't want to use those on the street. HP+ is a street pad.

I tried Hawk Black pads.
It had very good performance on the track.
on the street two.
It had very good initial bite and fade resistance.
But ..........
It is very very dusty.....
If you drive a few minutes, you have to clean all the wheels imediately.
If you don't, you won't able to see your bright wheels again.
