I knew it didn't have a sidewall as stiff as the stones, but I've found mine to need pressures at or north of 35f/33r
245s. Rear pressures I'm around 30-31, anything higher and the rear end gets dicey. Fronts I've tried 45 and 32, not sure which I like more. #hack

On the contrary, the HP+ isn't enough pad IMO for track days on our car. I used to run them on my Celica which weighed in around 2380 without driver and they were perfect. What you have to look out for is the pad has extremely high initial bite - if you're used to charging into a corner like a bull and stomping the brakes, you're going to need to change that or you'll slow down too much.
