RB rotors use really really hard alloy, that needs an aggressively hard pad to work well or you get deposit. This happens with CTech pads on RB rotors too (as I said right above). Hawk falls into the category of an aggressive pad and is actually recommended by RB as a "compatible" pad on their site for this very reason.
You may already know all that- I'm just posting for the benefit of those who don't and are considering RB rotors, which are great.
