[QUOTE="Norm Peterson, post: 16190931, member: 193960"] Carbotechs or G-locs for pads (basically the same pads, designed by the same individuals) and plain Centrics for rotors. I've used slotted/grooved before, but that mostly just adds expense once rotors become consumable items either through thickness wear or thermal heat-checking (very fine spider-web-ish surface cracking where being able to catch a fingernail in any of them means it's rotor replacement time for both sides on that axle). Street driving should not generate heat checking. Street pads in the cars that don't see track time (Bobcat/1521 in CT for the Maxima in my sig, GS-1 G-locs were in the car that the WRX replaced and will go in the WRX when I can get around to it). The Mustang gets entry-level track pads (8's, 10's, and 12's). I wasn't happy with the softish bite from Hawk's original HPS pads, and way unhappy about rotor wear with Hawk's HP+ that had the good bite. 8's and 10's are at least comparable to HP+ for bite, and wear rotors like HPS. Even 12's don't eat rotors nearly as fast as HP+. Norm [/QUOTE]
