My car sees light autocross duty, otherwise it's a daily driver (local traffic)

What do you guys think? I heard good about the Hawk HPS pads, but I like ceramic a lot since they hardly dust at all (had them on my OE fronts before i switched and they had a good bite)

Dust is good.

Hawk HPS are awesome for your appication, Hawk HP PLus will be even better (but maybe a bit aggressive for street driving).

Email me for some more info on these Christine.

My Hawk HPS pads from Enjuku should be here Monday. Next autocross is the following Saturday.

thanks guys,

i did a search (never thought there would be a thread about ceramics) and apparently they're just too soft for my application (most likely)

I heard a lot of good about Hawk's, i do occasional autocrosses, but a lot of local-driving, so what's better for the life of the rotors HPS? or HPS plus?? I have brembo blanks about to go on...

i just put HPS' with brembo blanks on, they are nice. not sure about plus though.
