I don't want to discourage you from doing what you want to your car but I personally see Hawk HPS as OE-replacement pads. If you wanted something more aggressive you should've gone with the Hawk HP+. |

Ahh, I thought they were in between. I guess I will keep those on side for future or sell them, I got pretty good deal on them.

I agree with the other statements on those pads. They will be fine in autocross. Don’t expect them to work above 100 mph. I found that out the hard way, dam near totaled the drivers seat.

HPS 5.0 is a different compound than the original HPS. Similar, but not the same. I suspect it is a good choice for his use case, although I haven't driven them.

I ran the HPS 5.0 on my BMW (multiple track days) and currently run the HPS on my 86 which I have ran a couple of track days with.
I have been completely satisfied with both. The 5.0 had more brake squeal for me in regular driving, but I haven't had brake fade issues with either on the track.

Good to know. I wish someone could provide feedback using both compounds on the same 86. Unfortunately, the same compound can feel very different on different cars.

You will be really surprised at what your car can do when you get good at the art of driving. When I attended a novice school in my previous car, my instructor knocked out a time in my car (bone stock) that was profoundly faster than I ever drove it and faster than any other car at the school, modified or other wise. He had never driven my car or one like it before that run. That run with the instructor alone proved to me the value of driving skills over anything I could ever do to the car. It just takes time and lots of runs to get the basics down. Once you get to the point where the stock platform is holding you back, that is when you should start modifying. Quote:
Outside influences will drive me to different tires next season, but if that wasn't the case, I'd probably do another season on them until they wore out. |

When my tires need a change I might look at 17" wheels as I hate low profile tires due to risk of damage (I replaced tires twice and wheels once on Kia Stinger) and higher cost. |
