    I run the Hawk ceramics for the street and like them fine. I do not see that they are eating the rotors, but then again I may not have enough miles on them to really tell. I may try the Bobcats next time given how much I like the XP-10s I have recently tried for the track.

    Yeah, I probably had 20,000 miles on my hawk ceramics when I swapped them out for the bobcats and replaced rotors. There was still life left in the original rotors, but they were VERY "ridgy" - the rotors have worn much less after similar mileage with the bobcats.

    I just put my AX6's on for the Dragon run this weekend. OMG I love how those pads feel - I almost expect to see the engine go flying on down the road when the chassis stops RIGHT NOW. And modulation remains very good. But they dust like nuts.
