I have some experience with Hawk pads (but not on my eclipse) and I have found they make good pads. As you have said, you are probably going to be a bit too agressive for them.

I have porterfield R4S pads on the Eclipse (for a long time now). You have to really push them to get them to fade. I used them autocrossing and one time where I did several hot laps the pads were still locking up the tires with no problems.

I don't know if the porterfield R4S are going to be agressive enough for you but they do work even when cold. I was just using them today in 25 degree F weather and the snow (had to press the eclipse into winter service, the snow tires for the ralliart only came in tonight, not soon enough for the snow we had today) and they were stopping the car just fine from the start.
