I ran HPS pads once. ONCE...
They were the suckiest pads I've ever experienced, from the time they first clamped the rotors on my S2000 on the street to the end of their very short life at the track. Soft pedal, very poor bite and low c.f., couldn't stand up to even a warmup lap at the track before the pedal got soft and I lost over 50% of braking capacity. The pedal would start to go to the floor, so I suspected air in the lines or fluid in need of changing, but no change after flushing the old out with fresh DOT4. Lo and behold, it was the pads themselves. After three very short sessions, the HPSs were dust, and I threw the OEM S2k pads on (no other option), no other changes, and got HUGELY improved braking. And stock S2k pads are not track pads by any stretch of the imagination. But totally manageable by taking it easy on them (unlike the HPS, which simply gave up no matter how easy I tried to take it on them).
Honestly, I'd run the stock FR-S/BRZ pads on this car at the track before HPS.
HP+, on the other hand, I've had very good experience with on the stock S, on street tires.
