Brake Pads... choices?
Looking to upgrade my brake pads after my first track event. I know my stock ones are relatively new still but I understand that they might not fit the bill after a couple events.
These are the choices I found so far....
1. EBC Green
2. EBC Yellow
3. EBC Red
4. Hawk ceramic
5. Hawk HP
6. Hawk HPS
7. Hawk HT14
8. Hawk Blue
9. Hawk DTC60
10. Hawk DTC70
11. Hawk HT-10
On the EBC side from my reading, the EBC Red would be a good choice and on the Hawk side, the HPS?
I'm also going to upgrade the rotors to Powerslot and stainless steel lines when cash permits.
Suggestions?
Track use probably once a month, lots of stop and go traffic and spirited driving on weekends.

I personally prefer the HP+ pads. I now have 5 track events on them (3 Moroso, 2 Sebring) and they have just under 50% left on them. I remove the fronts and replace the stockers after every track event as they squeak and get my wheels very dirty upon street driving. The fronts are simple to swap. The rears, not so easy so I leave those in. They don't dirty up the wheels as bad as the fronts.
A friend of mine uses EBC yellows on his 93 Cobra and swears by them.
In the past I have used Hawk Blues (hard on rotors), Wilwood, Carbotec and Performance friction. I find the HP+ is easy on rotors and works well on the track.
