Dave, do you have a report back on the performance?

To everyone else: Use a pad that is designed for the heat range you will be operating in. I hear all this "HPS sucks". Well, they're street pads. Of course they suck. This is not rocket science, but selecting the right pad for your application is crucial. It could take some trial and error. Maybe even some data (temp paint, IR gun, driver feedback, etc). Also, you are not going to need full bore race pads if you're running on stock tires. Even upgraded street tires. Yes, upgrade the pads. But select the right heat range.
