I have a set of the Hawks, I can't recall if they are the high performance ones or not. They work VERY well with my slotted rotors! Good Luck

Very true, I wash my car all the time, and these are the pads I am thinking about using with my slotted rotors.

I just bought a set (F & R) of Hawk HPS pads for $150 shipped. I don't know if this is a good price but if you need a set let me know so I can contact the dealer. I'll take a pic of the drilled/ slotted rotors I just got in and post it.

I have the Z06 pads and they're really great. I have yet to run them on the track to see how they handle the heat, but on the street they're great so far. What I look for in a street pad is same braking performance cold and warm from driving. I've found that more performance oriented pads take more stopping pressure when they're cold for the first couple of stops, and that gets annoying. Just go with a Z06 pad, they were meant for the street mainly...
