So I'd like thoughts on brake pads. Running STX, currently on stock brakes. Will be on 245 ZII's this year on 17x8 RPF1's. I bought a set of HP+'s, but they are just too noisy to use everyday, and they clamp really hard. I was thinking of going to maybe an HPS for daily/autocross, and saving the HP+'s for a track day eventually.

Anyone have thoughts on too much clamping force for autocross since our car is more of a preservation of momentum car like Miatas? I have been autocrossing for several years now, and I am concerned that super good brakes may be counter productive. HPS' might be a good compromise. Would love some thoughts.
