Which Hawks? HP, HP+ or Ceramic?
Endless SSS was alright. If you are doing street driving only, why not VN9500? CCA is too aggressive for the soft rotors in my opinion.
Aaron, I am about to replace my front pads with some CCA's. Is this not a good idea? I have OEM rotors still but will be replacing them with DBA 4000 slotted in the next 6 months or so.

Nothing wrong with them. Just that they will wear your OEM rotors quicker. If you are changing to DBA 4000 down the road, I don't see a problem.
With my spoon pads my rotors are really getting a beating..
I'm still on the original OEM discs. My left side rotors are getting grooved, while the right side is still pretty flat. I'm considering either getting DBA4000 slotted up front and solid in the rear ($600++) or going for Racingbrake UP hardened rotors (guessing $650-700 landed)
You reckin the J's Racing discs any good??
I got a set for the front for free from a friend who didn't need them brand new as well..
What do you think of slotting discs that haven't got them?
No harm trying if you can get them for free. Or you can sell them to me for a good price if they are from the CL7.
Most discs start as blanks, and the slots are machined in. You can get them machined, but make sure you use someone who has experience in doing it, otherwise you can get cracking around the edges when you push hard on the track.
Yea, I know.. But my mechanic knows someone who does it well..
I've heard that the CL7 discs are a different size. As in the diameter is the same, but the thickness is different so they don't actually fit.
I think the CL9 were 29mm and the CL7 are 26/27mm.. Thats why my friend didn't need them. He got the spoon calipers fitted, but they wouldn't fit over the stock/J's rotors..

You know of this?
Nope, haven't really heard of this. From the DBA catalog, the thickness for CL9 rotors is 28mm. Well, his loss is your gain.
