I have actually. At various track events on my car I've use the Hawk HT-10, Porterfield R4, and Endless MA22b's.

All of them need to be warmed up (as you can expect with race compound pads) but once there, I've found the Hawks to have a much higher initial braking torque, and generally better "feel" under hard braking. The Porterfields and Endless pads don't seem to offer the same amount of modulation, then again, that could just be my driving/braking style.

Either way, even if the endless pads were a bit better, the fact that they're $300 (!!!!) compared to the $100 I pay for the R4 or HT-10 immediately make them not worth the cost.
