Good bite, good modulation, don't need any time to warm up. Beware of vendor posts encouraging you to "upgrade" systems that don't need upgrading.

Stock pads are perfect for the street. I'm shocked you like the HPS pads, I tried them a long time ago and they were some of the worst pads I've ever used (next to discount one-stoppers).
I agree on fluid on the street, stock is fine. Same with the pads, I never had a problem on the street with them. Sure, on the track they sucked, but on the street they were fine. Hell some members here have used them on the track for a good bit without issue.
