FW: Brake Pad Poll-Vote Here

[Beer, Jerald S.]

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I've been running Hawk HPS on several cars and have been very happy with
them, overall. They will not hold up to track days (although I got 5
days out of the set on the 200, with me  being a relatively slow
driver- died at the Glen, though). Dusting is not too bad, squeal is not
bad, I like the pedal feel and bit characteristics of these pads.
They're also fairly inexpensive- $100 per axle or so, about half of the
price of the Pagid.

I agree with Taka, although I do like a better bite on the street. I
have used HP Plus which are one step above HPS and one step below full
race pad. I have used them on the track occasionally and they do fine,
although they are not full race pads. I do not use them in the rears
because of noise, but no real squeal in the fronts and they are my
everyday pads.  Not sure how fast I haul the avant on the track, but I
do run in the instructor group so I must be holding up the 4 rings
honor!

Jerry
