OK back from the track day. Very disappointed. After 5 or so laps (10 mins) fade was significant and I had to stop the session to let the brakes cool down. I was advised that now that the rotors have been used with Hawk pads I shouldn't use another brand with those rotors since any residue on the rotors could interfere with the new pads. Is this true? If so what would you all recommend from the Hawk line that will hiold up at teh track but I can also use as a daily driver? If this is false what other recommendations do people have.

You won't feel much of a difference under normal light braking but if you go out on the highway on cold brakes and really stand on them it will feel like really bad brake fade for the first couple times until you get them up to a hundred degrees or so, depends on the pads. It's just something to be aware of on the first couple of stops.
Keep the thread updated for long term use. Interested to see how much dust they generate over a couple thousand miles as well as how long your rotors last.
