Hawk HPS5.0 Replacement using existing rotors

[Impact302]

Guys I have a 2013 5.0 TrackPack that either gets aggressively street driven or HPDE driven. I'm done with the HPS5.0 as they suck in all situations Street/Track.

Very modular pedal feel, very low bite, horrible heat tolerance to aggressive driving (20 Minute sessions). I wanna keep using the current rotors (Stoptech Slotted) what are your recommendations to replace pads Front/Rear while reusing rotors? (Gloc,Raybestos ,a Hawk (Blue) Track pad ) I can deal with noise but have 0 use for these pads as they are Good at nothing I should have kept stock pads lol

Gloc or Pagid are my favorites. Never liked any Hawk pad I tried, Remember to take off any old pad deposits left on the disks.

What's the bets way to do that?

I just use a small orbital sander to give it a quick once over with a fine paper (180+). its only really needed if you have some deposits left from the previous pads.

G-loc or Carbotech (essentially the same formulations, same guys involved).

Hawk pads of HP+ or higher are very abrasive on your rotors in street duty.

HP50 Street are just that, I have been using HP+ on several cars including my Boss for some time. They really are not street user friendly so I swap them with standard Hawk HPS for street use HP+ always performed well in HPDE's They are not rotor friendly but rotors like pads are consumables. I use stock oem rotors and they are good for about 4 sets of pads before I swap them out. Never had pads crack or de laminate like G loc's seem to do.
