I tried switching to a competitor with similiar price and after 2,000 miles I put some new Hawkes back on. IMO stick with what you know or save for the expensive shizat...

I like Pagid blacks on my car. Even on the street 
They have great initial bite + I haven't found the squealing to be all that annoying. I don't know what my fellow commuters would say though .........

However, the Hawke will make more dust and they do make some noise. The Hawke HP Plus will be my replacements. But you should choose the Hawke pad that suits your driving.

Having read some of your adventures in driving I may try these Pagid blacks... I just have not heard of them and do not know where to find them...

There's:
Hawk HPS (street verison)
Hawk HP+ (street and strip verison) which makes alot of dust and some noise
Hawk Blues (don't even ask unless your going to swap them out for track use, they are like concrete pads to your rotors)
