R53 - pads for DE?

Just beginning to get into running DEs, found that as I'm becomming quicker and pushing the car harder, the Hawk HPS pads are simply not up to the task. Nearly burnt through the set at the track this past weekend. Would appreciate any recommendations on a more aggressive track pad could potentially see some (limited) use on the street.

Thanks in advance!

HPS is a great street and auto-X pad, but is not extreme enough on the track.

The next step up is Hawk HP+ Its operating in a higher temperature range and less prone to fade.



The step beyond the HP+ would be Hawk Blue 9012

A great pad track, but very caustic to wheels and bodywork.

These both are drop-in for track use only.
