I'm hoping to start campaigning the car in autocross again soon, but need to pick a new pad. The Porterfiled ST-43 felt great, but absolutely ate my rotors. I'm considering the Hawk HP Plus. Has anyone had any time with this pad?

I used to switch between Porterfield race pads and street pads on my dual-purpose 914/6 and BMW M5 track/street cars. Pad material transfer was a BIG issue. Cold pad performance was a much, much smaller issue since the cars have such big Wilwood and Brembo brake packages. I just keep the race pads on all the time and learn to live with a little noise. The race compound was easy on the rotors.
The key, is the MENTAL issue when switching between driving the family SUV and the 914/6 (although the SUV has bigger brakes than the 914/6 ... but it does weigh more than twice as much!). The 914/6 takes a LOT of force but the modulation is so good ... even without ABS and all the other electronic nannies. |
