HPS are Road Pads ONLY
You'll melt them on the track, unless you're driving too slowly, then you'll be ok:)

I've got the HPS pads on all four corners. I love 'em. There's a noticeable difference when you've got them on all the way around. And yes, the rears don't require the mazda shims - this caused me lots of headache as well.

I have the HPS PLus on all 4's
These are pretty nice and the wear is pretty decent...Although they squeak a lil once in a while after they get wet, they are good, on and off the track. They are a lil more harder than then HPS...Hawk's are sweet though... Go for it! |
I've got em on All Fours and they are excellent! Very low dust properties and better than stock braking.

I use the HP+ for track and street, they warm up quick enough on the street but hold up on the track. I have been very happy, much better than the carbon fiber kvr's i had before.

Originally posted by DamonB I run my HP+ on the street and autox. Love the feel and stopping power, but they dust like mad. Have to use wheel cleaner and a scrub brush ounce a week. I still am happy though. abt 30 miles and my ssr intergrals fronts only would be covered in dust.. if i wanted to keep them as clean as i liked it was a every other tiem i drove it wash job... a week i might as well of had them painted black.... ohh im not easy on pads..5k miles and i 3/4 wore out the kvr pads:D |
