I have used Hawk pads in my cars for years. The blues are definately harsh for street use but their HP+ or HPS are great pads!
BTW: brake fluid can be any color the manufactuer decides to color it. Don't worry about what color it is. The different colors are helpful when flushing a system. If you have golden color fluid, it is easy to tell whne it has been replaced when the new color starts to flow into you bleeder bottle.
