How expensive are those pads?

$200/axle. Pricey, but they bite and last.

Most of those aggressive pads take too long to heat up for autocross. Majority of the courses I've run require hard breaking at the first or second corner; all you get is squeals above an hp+

Precisely.

my Hp+'s have held up just fine in both cars ive ran them on. no complaints here besides all the damn brake dust.

ive heard ppl that run those all the time as well and no issues - i burned through mine when i had them - maybe im a hard braker lol

I don't know if this tops it but my first time I had HPS pads on all around and they were like 50 worn already I though I had enought - after my first time I wore them Down to the metal destroyed my brembo rotors and seized both my rear calipers lol

Ouch!!! lets call it a tie. Lol

Im running HP+ fronts and HPS rears right now and I love em. but Im still a noob and not going that fast nor braking that hard hahaa

you need to think of braking as a wave you use yours as an on off switch and thats why you had an oops. also remember what i showed you about weight transfer :thumbs up

You guys are so paranoid.

That setup is perfect for you for now.

If Roger and I don't kill our HP+, then you will be golden. I am not sure how Integraguy04 killed his so easily though. lol Maybe the different style of track. I am sure Big Willow and Autoclub would wreck our brakes too. Anything with a super long straight going in to a super slow tight turn is just death to brake pads.

A lot of the tracks are longer straights with tighter turns.

A couple of them I am going 100-110 mph and then have to slow down for a 90 turn.

Nailed it.

Nailed it.

Yessir! Buttonwillow doesn't kill brakes that quickly. Thunderhill has like one really hard braking zone.

10 sometimes 1 for me at least

Turn 14 is the hardest braking zone for me. I barely tap the brakes at Turn 1.
