I didn't read thru to see what you decided to go with, but just for your info, the hawk pads ( I don't remember what version I got, they where recommended for street/strip, I believe the hp+) are the noisiest brake pads I've ever had. They stop great and the braking feel is improved, although I installed goodrich ss brake lines and motul brake fluid at the same time as the pads so the whole braking feel overall was much improved, im not sure how much just from the pads.

They however are a virtual cacophony of high pitched whining, squealing, and squeaking no matter how much or little you use them, not everytime, but after the car and brakes warm up a little they are loud, and whine like crazy. I tried scuffing them and reinstalled them a couple times to make sure it they were line up properly but it is just the nature of the pads material. Just a objective observation and a forewarning as in my experience they are more strip than street.
