      Brake pad compounds - which to use?

      So after my first outing on a road course - Road America - I concluded that the pads that came with my Baer calipers aren't up to the task. After about the second turn I got a little nervous because my brakes were pretty much used up! Being the smart person that I am, I held back and didn't push it... save it for another day I thought!

      With that said, I've been eyeballing the EBC and Hawk catalogs.

      If you had to choose between these two companies, which compound would you go with for street driving/road course/autocross use?

      EBC Blue Stuff Or Hawk Blue 9012

      I'm not overly concerned about brake dust or noise because I can always put the street pads in if I want to go cruising.

      If there are other pad companies/compounds that you've had good luck with, please chime in!

      Thanks!
