I've had good luck with Carbotech Bobcats and I do a lot of "spirited" driving and braking. I used to autocross the car a lot and would get pad deposits and horrible steering shake from it. Now that I'm back to stock brakes with Bobcats I'm still having fun diving into highway interchanges or finding some fun back roads to play on. Haven't had issues. I have used Hawk HPS as well under similar driving conditions and never had issues. I think both pads are going to be similar performance to the EBC's...perhaps a bit more dust though.
