I currently run Hawk HPS on my '91. They are great. Compared to the worn out factory pads the car had previously they make no more noise and give much better friction. I have only autocrossed on them twice but I highly recomend them.
My only other experience with performance brake pads were on my track only car that used The Porterfield R-4 full race compound brakes. If the Porterfield R4-S street pads are of the same quality as the ones I had it would be hard to not recomend them even though I have never driven with them. The R-4 pads required heat, LOTS of heat before they would even begin to work. For example rolling the car off the trailer on a cold day would require massive leg strength to stop the car from rolling. But get them hot on a road course and they would throw teeth fillings into your windshield.
