So your Escort is your only track car? Kind of foolish to put track pads on your Contour, if you never plan getting it off of the street.

Of course, HPS is not as good as HP+. The rear does less braking, so it's not a big deal. I could have very easily spent the $20 more on the HP+ pads, but really, there would be no point. Wow, I'd get maybe .001 second faster in autox lap times. Since I'm only locally competive, that wouldn't matter.



Well now, sounds like you have track plans for that Contour afterall.

I have no plans on my car seeing a track and my brake setup works fine. End of story.



HPS is what I would have gone with then...seeing that you've already stated that you're worried with rotor wear.

Thanks everyone for the few useful posts. Sorry to anyone reading this that had to read through crap.



You're just a poser. You throw "Autocross & Track" pads on stock rotors, and street pads on the rear...then you say you'll never get that setup on the track. Does the same go for your adjustable gears? Ever adjust them, or are they just for looks? The reason why you're missing the top piece of your timing belt cover?

End of story.



WTF are you talking about!? I don't have track pads on the contour. I have the mintex crap from BAT on it. This thread IS ABOUT MY ESCORT. And my escort is not a track car. I don't own a "track car".



Sounds like I have track plans for my contour? Well, again I don't have a track car, and have no plans on taking my cars to any track. I have autox'd my contour a couple times and it's OK. I autox my escort regularly and it's locally competetive. But what is all this about a track?


I'm not really worried with rotor wear or anything. I was just stating the fact (only because you questioned it). There would not be a significant improve in braking with the hp+ pad in the rear. So by going with the hps pad, I save some money and rotor wear. Sorry if I confused you.



Just a poser? What am I posing as? Please tell me. Yeap, I put autox pads on the front and street performance pads on the rear with plain rotors. And I don't track it. I'm just not getting what you're saying here.

My adjustable cam gears on the contour. Yes I have a adjusted them. Did they add power? Heck if I know. It's a 4 banger auto contour. Who gives a crap?
