Can’t say anything bad about the Hawk brake pads. I have HPD 5.0’s and they stop great and dust very little.
Pros: stops great, little dust

I have Hawk HP+ on my NA, and while the bite is good, the brake dust is pretty significant
Pros: good bite
Cons: significant brake dust
I aswell have an evo 9 with the same tires and similar weight. I run hawk dtc 70s in the front and dtc 60s in the rear. If you do not mind swapping pads before the events I love these pads. They will make a lot of noise driving around town tho. I get about 8 to 10 days out of a set of front pads and about 2 to 3 seasons out of a set of rears.
Pros: long lasting
Cons: noisy
Vehicle:
Mitsubishi Lancer
I have hawk dtc-60. They are cheaper than most race pads, but not super long lasting. No problems with them on the street. They dust like crazy though and the you don't want to leave the dust on wheels you care about. Make sure you wash the wheels when you get home from track.
Pros: cheap, no street problems
Cons: dusts a lot, not long lasting
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Corvette C5
I have a Camaro SS 1LE (~3800 lbs w/me) and I basically run Hawk 60's on the street and track ( I don't drive on the street much). I also used Carbotech XP12's before. I don't get any brake fade with either one.
Pros: no brake fade
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Camaro
I emailed HAWK over two weeks ago. They thanked my for my contact and query, but haven't responded with a suggested product. I've been running their pads on my Mk6R and have been very pleased with the lack of brake dust and the bite of the braking.
Pros: lack of brake dust, good bite
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
HAWK Pads are top notch
Pros: top notch pads
I have Hawk HPS 5.0 street pads on mine, and hate them. They're ass until you get some heat in them.
Cons: poor cold performance
Vehicle:
BMW
Zimmerman rotors and Hawk HPS 5.0 pads on all four corners. Not the first time I've used Hawks like these, but they feel pretty good so far. Using Motul 600 fluid.
Pros: feel pretty good
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 82000 km
I prefer Hawk Truck pads. Been using them on my tree for 20 years. Get good life out of them. Check pad wear. Mine squeak under light braking when dusty.
Pros: long life, good quality
Cons: squeak when dusty
