I've been running Hawk Blues for the track and they have been great pads. But one of the local racers, non-rotary guy, is pushing me to try the HT-10s. Is their alot of difference besides the HT's can take more heat?? What would ya'll suggest??

I've also heard good stuff about the Porterfield R-4, but the hawks have been so good to me, street and track pads(different compounds of course), I almost hate to change.

are you fading your brakes

if everything is fine for your car and the way you drive, anything more is overkill

Mainly I'm asking if the HT-10s have more inital bite, tend to last longer, or maybe aren't as hard on rotors as the blues. I want their to be a reason to upgrade, not saying I really want to, because I've put the blues through major pretty harsh abuse just to see what they would take. Which is why I would like some reviews.

If you have stock calipers, you might try the N-Tech pads. Quite a few of the FD crowd use them and like them a lot. They are rotor friendly and have a very good initial bite.

The Lapping Day pads can be easily driven to and from an event.

I like the HT-10's and I'm running 265/45R16 Kumho 710's with Advanced Design coilovers (600lbs/400lbs) and a Tri-point front swaybar.

My rotors will usually last about (3) weekends for HPDE, and I am an instructor at Roebling Road with my best time about 1:22:10 (NASA track record for my class is 1:20).

Unfortunately, I've never run the Blues.
