I switched from street pads to Hawk Blues last year... all I can say is WOW!!! I never knew how damn good stock Porshce brakes can be!
The Blues do squeak a bit when cold, but the real problem I have with them is the iron dust they throw off... don't know if it is from the pads or my rotors.
It's a bear to clean off and leaves a big rust spot on my driveway after I wash the car. Blues are definitely not meant for a car you want to keep clean, but their on-track performance is stellar.
Please let me know if anyone finds the perfect street/DE bad with no noise, low dust, easy on rotors, high torque cold and hot, don't fail under high heat, minimize heat transfer to pistions/calipers, and
guaranteed to keep me on line and at the limit in every turn.
