Thanks T. Just Hawk HP+ pads, they work surprisingly well. Maybe my driving style isn't hard on brakes but I've yet to have any noticeable fade. Rotors still look very healthy, no unusual checking or discoloration. I've run Thunderhill, Buttonwillow and now Willow Springs without issue. I'll be running Hoosiers at Buttonwillow in April, we will see how the brakes hold up.

When the rotors are done I'll upgrade to a lightweight, cooler running rotor like the RBs. Very soon I'll likely add cooling to the fronts. I've been avoiding a more aggressive track pad such as the Carbotechs because I can leave the HP+ Pads in fulltime, street and track. I don't trailer my car and it's already a lot of work swapping my track wheels on when I get to the track. I'd hate to have to swap pads too. What are your thoughts on this?
