I don't know if Hawk has gone downhill but everyone else that has used the HPS has basically said they lost their brakes by corner 5 on the second lap.The stoptech are street performance pad as well, but are amazing on track too. No squeal until they get hot on track.This. On heavier/faster cars, HPS don't cut it. I even found the HP+ don't quite cut it. I personally use the Ferodo DS3000, but they are quite loud for the street.I had Ferodo DS2500 on the FR-S. Worked quite well (but the FR-S is a bit lighter at 2700 lbs) and was quiet on the street after a track day.

Some unedited videos. Sorry for the sound of the buffeting. Fun facts -- you can see the direction of travel on the mirror compass and I just noticed that I had my trip computer set up to display my speed (in between the big dials). There were some really cool cars out!1. With 5 Wheel Drive: --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXIOkhDJg082. With friend --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jeitFkOxPk3. With friend 1 of 2 chasing Gurgie --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKkm5RMOb1A4. With friend 2 of 2 --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjdfsWzU29UGurgie is quick! He was absolutely driving the wheels off that 944 and it was all I could do to keep with him on the straights. I particularly enjoyed the sandwiches and chit-chat after.
My brother is probably going to process the photos tonight knowing him! I'm sure there will be a few with your Porsche and my Audi in the same frame!

It was a fun evening, thanks for the invite and the ride alongs! The TT is such a great handler with the magnetic shocks. I was impressed with the grunt Gurgie's 944 Turbo has, I wasn't expecting that much a shove back in the seat. And AC's brother's Cayman with the Porsche Sport exhaust just sounds fantastic!
Oh geez, that didn't take long

H&R Sport Springs going on tomorrow!
Finally got around to loading up my videos to YouTube from Sunday night.1. Following Angry Chicken (got a little loose on my final lap in turn 14).... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zr_NQ--wEtw2. With 5 wheel drive as my passenger... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKPfYGXKCMA3. Angry Chicken hot on my tail & passing me after I got a bit loose in turn 2, figured I'd be better off following him & his experience ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wM6cTB5tsq4
