If there's lots of air then his original problem is also solved.

Everybody says that. I think they're fine for the street, and I used them for about 3 events in my Miata on street tires. I think the stock brakes feel more like the Hawk Ceramic... frustrating
My only problem with ATE (and the reason I'm switching) is the large bottles. I end up tossing mine in the trash because I'll open it, do a bleed or two, then it sits for awhile and I don't want to use an opened bottle of ATE that's been sitting around capped for months. Might not be as big of a deal outside of this swamp but the water definitely gets to it here.

And hey, at least someone in the world has had good luck with HPS pads! Not sure how it happened but as long as they work for you

I'll be trying AP Racing pads for the first time soon, I'll see how it goes.
