Performance brake pads

Any favorite pads out there for stock calipers and rotors? I now have the generic pads that came with the SS calipers and have great brakes, but I'm unsure what to use for weekend autocross or roadcourse work...

I don't know for use on the C-3 but my friend has Hawk's on his C-5 and can't wait until they wear out so he can get rid of them. Way to much dust and was hard to break them in.

That's one of the brands I considered from time to time. What are the alternatives?

The hawks work great but they do make allot of dust. If you have rally rims it may not be so bad but if you have aluminum rims be prepared to polish every weekend.
