If you are just going to do one once in awhile, the stock pads are fine. If you're going to get really serious about it look into the Carbotech's, or Wilwoods etc. Lot of guys like Hawks but I have found them to be noisy, very dirty and the dust can be nasty if it gets wet. I would also suggest you ask your question over on the autocross/road racing forum. Good luck.

hey Joe, we talked at the TMS Cowtown event last Sept
I've used Hawk HP+ and Carbotech XP10 on autocross and on track day
Hawk better for autocross, Carbotech necessary for track use
both dust pretty badly
use Castrol SRF fluid and flush the whole system
I just ran a track day at Motorsports Ranch using new XP10 and NAPA rotors on front, stock on back, traction control off
7 sessions of 20+ minutes and no problem at all
drove home and changed back to stock the next day
