John,

The Hawk Performance pads I went with are street performance ceramic pads, part #HB103Z.590. These were the recommended pads after speaking with a Hawk technical support rep. I've put about 150 miles on them so far and they are very quiet and feel good - no fade at all. I made one hard stop from about 60 mph as a test (after bedding them in and letting them cool down) and there was no hint of fade at all so I'm pleased. Expensive compared to other "generic" pads, but brakes are kinda important so, so what...

Kevin
