Another thing to mention since i do run HP+ on the street is that they are very harsh on the rotors compared to HPS, and also I tend to need more pedal pressure when the pads are cold (which usually is most of the time on the street), but when they do heat up they are excellent. I dont recommended these pads for the streets. I tend to get some gnarly noises from the rotors once in awhile also. But for the track, the pads are great, they are easier on rotors then most semi race pads out on the market and the work well for track use.

OK guys. I've been reading everyone's comments and replies and I appreciate what everyone has contributed so far. Here's MY reality. Currently running stock Mazda pads and rotors. Mainly take the car to shows and 1 club drive each month. Occasionally autocross the car (maybe once or twice a year). Under normal driving conditions I'm a very light braker, so I'm not hard on pads. Just looking for a little better street performance over "stock" with some upgrades to "appearance" without the potential problems that "cross-drilled" might present. Also running Motul fluid. Not sure if this criteria will change anyone's opinions.
Thx!

I have never used the R4S but I have seen past threads on them. I'd call up Porterfield and get their input on your choices. They sell Hawks and other pads as well. They are usually pretty helpful.
