Doesn't sound like HPS. Maybe HP+?I've got HPS pads right now. Can't wait to get them off. They're super noisy, sounds like a semi truck braking, and the dust is bad. As in staining my wheels red bad.. I will say though, braking performance is awesome.
I have HPS on the front of my ST, and I can confirm they are quite noisy and dusty. If you don't warm them up they squeak alot.Doesn't sound like HPS. Maybe HP+?

HPS or HP+ for mixed use. Actually if you don't plan on pushing it really hard on the track you can run HPS, multiple laps back to back of heavy braking could cause you issues.Well that was a lot of mixed information. Some people saying HPS is great, others saying noisy as hell. Can't seem to figure out what the best choice is for a DD car with occasional auto-x or track days. Almost sounds like I should just stick with stock.
I would never run HP+ on the street (noise and lack of initial bite). And I would never run HPS on the track unless you really know what you're doing. The moment when the pedal goes to the floor and you're doing 125 down the front straight is NO FUN. If you are on the track, buy some proper track pads. A track day costs several hundred dollars. Don't cheap out on the bit that keeps you from putting your car in the wall or hitting another car. If you want to save money at the track, buy gas off-site and pack a lunch.HPS or HP+ for mixed use.

Like I said, if you don't plan on pushing it hard on the track then you can get away with HPS. I did 3 track days on my HPS pads and stock rotors without any issue. I didn't divebomb into every turn trying to brake as hard as I can. focused more about my transitions and limits of my car in the turns. With that said I have some DTC-30s on the way for my next track dayI would never run HP+ on the street (noise and lack of initial bite).

HA! I run DTC-70s! Which reminds me, I need to order a spare set. I can only get 2 track days (10 sessions) out of a new set. And I have a 3-day event next week at Summit.Like I said, if you don't plan on pushing it hard on the track then you can get away with HPS.
