Hawk HP plus + pads ??

I was wondering if anyone has tried the hawk hp plus pads? because I heard that if you use these pads they wear out your pads and rotors faster, and you would have to change them when you get home from the track and others say it does'nt. I ask because I am either going to get these pads or the hawk HPS, I just want to know peoples opinions.

HP+ can be used on the street, butHPS is definitely better, they make less dust and less noise, they also are a little easier on the rotors, BUT the HP+ are more aggressive, thats the sacrifice you make

I have a set on the front with DBA slotted rotors, I ran them on the car for about a month and the only real annoying thing about them is the noise. if you don't mind sounding like a city bus then it's cool because the stoping power is awesome. I didn't notice alot of rotor wear either so I guess it is like anything brake related and it depends on how you drive and all the conditions.

The HP Plus are more of a autocross/race pad(entry level) and the HPS is a street pad.

You will have a lot less dust and less noise with the HPS

Let us know if you need to order we have special pricing on all Hawk pads!
