I am running the cobalt XP-10's on all four corners.
I know the cobalts are good too.
I have not used the hawks but have you done a search?

I've used them. They are good, but the Hawk HT10's are better and are easier on the rotors.

Yes, I installed mine last night, and my car sounded like a city bus driving around town today (but I it).

But I have to ask, why would it matter? It's a race pad.

I'll let you know how I like the Hawk HT10's after my trip to Laguna Seca next friday.

I used Blues for a decade on My CRX-SiR, so when I started with the S I had to start with the Blues so something was close to being even. I then tried the Cobalt Spec VR and VX and have to say, the Cobalts are better as far as I'm concerned.

If I was determined to use Hawks, I would go HT-10, because you must know, there is something about the Blue's dust that once that dust gets wet and is them allowed to dry, the end result is like splattering concrete onto your wheels. Not only do I know lots of people who have ruined wheels with this, but I have to say I'm one of them, it happened to me with the CRX-SiR many years ago, the only way I could get those wheels cleaned was sandblasting... I have read that Hawk addressed this issue, but I have also read they have not really solved the problem, the bottom line, I decided the risk was not worth it for me.
