Too early to tell with my new brake setup as I have not had it on the track yet. However.....
I did a track day at Queensland Raceway late last year with only the fronts done and they stood up very well - I did not get any fade that I noticed, could easily lockup the fronts when I got too excited and minimal wear from 120kms of track work. That was with Bridgestone adrenalines on the front. I now have Kuhmo XSs on the front and they have in my opinion more grip than the adrenalines. The weakest link is possibly the brake fluid. I decided to go with a cheaper super dot 4 and replace it more often than the more expensive options. If I was going to upgrade the fluid I would probabley try Penrite sin 600.
I would steer clear of HP Blues if you are going to use on the street as they are a pure track pad and need a fair bit of heat to work well. The HP+ squeal a little and make lots of dust but I can live with these comparmises given the braking capability as it is mainly a weekend car.
DS2500 also get good reviews but I have never used so can not compare with the HP+s.
Hope this helps
Cheers Stewart
Thanks SCB this is exactly the feedback I was looking for if any others would like to chime in that would be great. MXFIVE feel free to tell me to get of your thread, but it seems like a reasonable place to discuss.
