     Hawk makes 'carbotic' (composite metallic) racing brake pads.  Hawk 
     'Blacks' are their model for high tempurature road racing pads. They 
     get up to temperature between 400-900 degrees F. They will squeek on 
     the street until you make a couple of stops from speed to warm them 
     up. The advantage of the 'blacks' is that they are already burninshed 
     so you do not have to follow a tedious break in procedure. 
     
     They are priced $46.59 rear and $53.25 front from Essex.  
     1-404-889-4096.  PBC also sells Hawk if I remember correctly.
     
     I installed them on the rear to make the brake bias more equal for 
     autocrossing.

 Are the Hawk brake pads the carbon metallic type? If so, it is really
cheap because PBC sells them for $89. How do I reach Essex? Thanks a lot.
