Default Replace my Firehawk SZ50 EPs with...?

It's time to replace my Firestone Firehawk SZ50s, any recommendations for new rubber? My car's an '02 Hawk that I use as a daily driver with the occasional solo AutoX during the summer - I'll hit maybe 2-3 events in a summer.
I was pretty happy with the SZ50s, aside from the fronts wearing down way faster than the rears . I'm considering new rims too, 18x9.5 up front and 18x11 out back, so I don't mind getting different tires for the fronts and rears.
I was looking at the gForce KDW 2's, are they any better than the original KDW's? Any other recommendations? Thanks!

KDW2's are much better than the old KDW. Plus, for 18's they're one of the better tires you can put on there without having to dish out alot for Pilot Sports.

Anyone here running the Pilot Sports? What about the rest of you 'Hawk guys, what have you replaced your SZ50s with?
