Not to pick or get personal, that is not my intent, but those are not track pads. If you can use the HP+ on tracks that are known to be hard on brakes, then you are not drivning fast enough or generating enough heat to warrant better calipers. The HP+ is a street/autox/"lightHPDE" but a "track pad"...it is not.
The other thing I noticed, while looking to improve the brakes, is the cost of pads.... $400 for front pads!!!! WTF!!!! I"ll no doubt buy a set of Stoptech calipers, as the savings on pads alone will make up for the kit in 2 track seasons.
Again, please find "one" competitive race team....not a competitor in the24hrsofLemons...that uses single-piston-sliders.... just one.
Be good,
