Your local high performance auto parts store is good too, a lot of places can order them. Just shop around for the best price.

How much tougher on the rotors are the HP+ as compared to the HPS pads? So far I don't autocross or club race - mainly just curvy mountain roads, etc. I don't wan't to put ones on that might chew up my rotors - what's everyones experience?

I've had them on for 10,000 kms and my rotors are perfect. They seem to last very well too. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

I run the Hawk HP Plus's on my CSP car and am VERY impressed. Haven't noticed any increased wear on my rotors.
