Hawk vs Porterfield
Hawk HP+ =? Porterfield R4
Hawk HPS =? Porterfield R4S
I'm trying to get a feel for what the Porterfields are like relative to the Hawk line of products. Are these roughly equivalent in their performance and characteristics (friction, noise, dust, track competence)?
Comments ONLY from those who have used both please.

I have not used Hawk HP or HPS (those are both street pads) on a track car.
I have used both the Hawk Blues and Porterfield track compounds (R4S I recall).
Similar stopping power, Blues might have the slight advantage. Blues probably last a little longer. And I also believe that the blues are more fade resistent during long DE sessions/races.
