HPS are probably the best BRAKE pads for your application if you are mainly on the street.

What sort of racing do you do?

I just bought brake pads with a lifetime warranty from autozone. I couldn't believe you can actually buy brake pads with a lifetime warranty. I want to know who the genius is who decided that one

It really depends on the extent of your braking and it does not sound like you really need a better pad. If you want to go with the HP+ I have HPS that I am going to try out for autox. Hopefully they will do just fine.

I'm running the Hawk HPS.

In normal street conditions they stop great, but if I'm racing they tend to get hot pretty quick. Seems like they get hot quicker then oem pads to me and leave more dust.

I like my HP+ but wouldn't recommend them if they are only for street driving as they do make your wheels filthy in a matter of days.

When you realize how shitty the pads are and/or how you will lose your reciept or sell the car before you replace the pads, you will understand the reasoning behind the lifetime brake pads

I have bought lifetime pads at least 3 or 4 times, and have yet to get a free pair.

I'm running Bonez at thge moment. EBC Greens or reds are good though. Greens are a street pad, low dust, The reds are more performance oriented. They make a Yellow and Blue that bite hard but they dust bad and don't last very long.
