Hey guys, I'm interested in upgrading my brake pads to a more aggressive track version. After doing my research I've narrowed it down to two different pads, both made by Hawk.
First is the Hawk Blue 9012 pads. These are their best sellers for SCCA/autocross. I'm only able to find the rear pads online however. I plan to call up Hawk next week to inquire as to the front pads.
Next are the Mountune branded RS-T pads which are made by Hawk. Both front and rears are available online and have a wider temperature range than the Hawk Blue pads. These seem to be a newer offering, as such there aren't many reviews yet.
This pad upgrade will be accompanied by stainless steel brake lines and track-spec brake fluid.
Any insight or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading!

mountune RS-T High Performance Brake Pads have been developed to offer outstanding performance for not only severe road use but extended track applications as well. Engineered to our specifications exclusively by Hawk, the RS-T pad has been optimized with an extremely high coefficeint of friction that is fade resistant under repetitive heavy braking. The broad temperature range of this pad means that it can be used in a wide range of applications including high powered street cars looking for dramatically increased stopping power. These pads feature a smooth and consistent feel and bite and remain functional under the most extreme conditions. Use PN 7064-BPR-A2 for matching rear performance.
This pad compound is an ideal upgrade for use in Autocross, Solo II and track day applications.
While this pad can be used for street driven vehicles, there is an increase in noise, dust, and rotor wear.
Excellent performance for Track and Autocross
Perfect fit
Minimal fade under extreme temperatures
Extremely high friction
Operating heat range- 70-1200F
