EBC Green won't last long.
I use them for street pads.

Another vote here for hawkpads direct.com. The only thing I have found is that shipping can take a little while, about 4 weeks at times.
And you can buy 4 or 5 sets of pads for the same postage price, just keep adding to the quantity in the checkout until your purchase trips the postage to the next level.
I got 2x sets of front and rear HP+ for my NA6 for change out of $300 when the dollar was at about $1.05 US last year

Me too. I only managed one track day on RDA rotors before the rotors developed cracks like that.
Ended up with the similar cracks on DBA rotors after about 6-7 track days.
Hawke blue pads in both cases.

Re: Best price for Hawk Blue's ?
Hawk direct @ $116us + shipping seem the cheapest but I dont have the lengthy time to wait unfortunately so I will have to pay a little extra for local.
Ended up getting new oem front and rear rotors and a set of Hawk blue front and rear pads from MX5 Mania @ $525.00
Now need to find some braided brake lines and a set of semi slicks at a competitive price :/

Re: Best price for Hawk Blue's ?
Just so the rest of us have something to compare. I just bought the same pads from Hawkpadsdirect for $286 including postage. Seems being patient does pay off. Also they shipped them out 2 days after I placed my order. I'm happy.
RaceTech, you already knew all this. Maybe next time we can share the postage.

I do over-use my brakes but was still disappointed that EBC Green did less than one sprint day for me.

Aiming to get to WP in November. Didn't like how the gearbox felt at the end of last time out though. I hope its just my imagination and not another gearbox issue.

Re: Best price for Hawk Blue's ?
Thought I'd report back on my purchase of Hawk pads. They arrived today 10 days after I placed my order. That's pretty good going.
