I used 2 quarts to swap mine but I do not know the exact amount, at the end I was just flushing out the last caliper since I was not going to keep an open can.
The HP+ on the rear have not made any noise as far as I can tell, it is all in the front. Here are the rears in mine after four track days and some street driving. I do not run nearly as hard as some of the others here.

I have done PBIR more but have done two track days at Sebring now. I am going pratice some left turns at Homestead this weekend. It's not that I wanted to go but with EMRE it is so cheap and it saves me having to swap the tires around on the rims, so the way I see it I will be making money 
I hope that EMRE will be booking more days at Sebring next year, they were looking into it. HOD is a lot more but they do have a two run group day coming up at Sebring and they say you will get 9 sessions.

I too am running the Hawk HP+ rear pads. These were recommended by the Hawk technical rep and although limited track use (so far, more to come) they do not make any objectionable noise and dusting is what I consider "average" not excessive. I am running the DTC 30's on the front and sometimes they make a little noise, sometimes not. Dusting is average on these pads as well. This combination I find offers completely acceptable street driven braking perfomance. Thus I save track setup time by not having to swap rotors and pads.

This was on the OEM Brembo fronts on my 2012 Boss 302.

Centric (Powerslot) has just came out with the new Brembo front rotors 120.61089 is the number. They are non-sloted. So far Tire Rack and Autoanything are the only ones listing them.
I burnt out the front HP+ this weekend, did not have a full day out there but they were on the fifth track day.

I was, kept trying to get over to talk to you, but never got around to it. My wife was there driving for the first time (did great!) so was rather pre-occupied.
Way too hot, though! They really need some fresh water supplies there.

I hope your wife had a good time! She was in an Audi, right? I may have talked to her in grid.
It was amazingly hot out there this weekend... still drained

And now they tell us shorts are okay in HPDE! Not sure I'll go that route, though -- prefer skin on my legs as opposed to not getting the sweat on.
Zung was saying he'd like to see all the TT guys in race suits, HANS, etc -- same as racers. That's pricey!

Was just thinking of something I didn't see discussed much:
Which of these pads produce brake dust that doesn't like water? I know some, when wet, basically turn to acid and eat the finish on the wheels and anything else they hit.
It's been an unfortunate habit this summer of driving home in the rain after a track event, and I don't always get the dust off the wheels the next day.

I know the old Hawk Blues ate the finish on my Cobra R wheels after getting damp in the morning (Texas, humidity, dew in the morning). Took me forever to get the metal out of the wheel finish (clay bar, compound, etc). Haven't run those since.

Good to know, I'm going to the DTC60s next year, and don't imagine I'll be more diligent in cleaning the wheels off.
You're going to MPH, but which weekend? I'm all signed up for the NASA CR event.
