[QUOTE="jande063, post: 15410844, member: 172020"] I have been pleased with my HPS 5.0 pads for daily driving. I would never consider them for anything more serious than autocross though (for a track, minimum in my book is a double digit Carbotech or G-Loc after nursing a set of HPS through a weekend). DOT 4 brake fluid is nice as long as you change it regularly. I have tested Stoptech 600, Motul, and ATE 200, and after three months they each had a 4% water content from street driving (which is a fail at tech inspection). DOT 3 lasts longer, but has a lower temperature rating. I tend to use whichever DOT 4 is either cheaper at the time, or is stocked by a vendor with a contingency deal. One good thing about the Duralast was the warranty. I know a guy who bought one set of pads for his TT car, and over the next five years, kept getting warranty replacement pads. He was actually asked by the cashier one weekend about how he managed to go through three sets in two days, and replied race car as the kid checked him out. [/QUOTE]
