Re: Hawk Brake Pads

[Todd Phenneger <phen9461@uidaho.edu>]

The place I called, "Pegasus" said they had a Hawk pad called the HP Plus.
Is this the same as the HP Street that you run Gary?  Also, how has this
pad compared to other pads you have tried.  I want something way better
than Metal Masters but I dont want to destroy my rotors in the process.  I
know you have a separate set of rotors and pads for the track but I dont.
How abrasive are they on the rotors and how do they compare to other pads
both in cold weather on the street and at PIR. 
	Thanks for the info, L8R
