Probably why they list them as "autocross & track" pads and list the HPS as street only pads?

Note that the HP+ pads are found under "Performance", NOT "Motorsports". The reason it's bad to mess with race/street pads is because race pads ONLY work well at high temps. Street pads, with the exception of pads like the HP+, fade, often quite badly, at high temps. This means your brake bias will dramatically change with temperature, and your car may not stop well when cold. Both are obviously bad situations.



Well, looks like Kremit's HPS street pads might send him into a bad situation at the track...maybe with drilled rotors on the rear...good rotors front and rear probably would get the most out of his "autocross & track" pads, but he's worried about the cost not the proper setup.

HP+ pads are streetable pads that work well at low temperatures, and thus are completely safe for Kremit's use.



...on the street?

But does Hawk list their HPS pads as trackable? Or will they *tend to fade quite badly*?

Like Kremit said before you started crapping all over this thread,

Quote:

There is no problem mixing pads, at least a pad that is designed for autox (so not all at track pad) and a performance street pad.



And since you've never heard of Hawk, I'd say it's a safe assumption you don't know jack about high performance pads. So why would you post at all?



Kremit also stated that he went with the non-race days on the rear because he wanted to save money, not because he thought it would work best for him on the track.

Would HP+ front and rear work better for him at the track [better if he didn't put them on non-machined OEM rotors that he admitted were not bedded in properly]?
