Great for opentrack events. Rotor friendly too. http://www.porterfield-brakes.com/ -------------------- DaveG 96-0029 S-351 Supercharged Speedster 613rwhp, 633rwtq Posts: 112 | From: San Jose | Registered: Jul 2002  |  : bobh ¯ Member # 1495 posted                              I've used their street pads for years with very good results. I did switch to the Plus pads awhile ago. Hawk says they are noisy, dusty, and don't last as long. I've noticed the squeaking; haven't had a problem with dust really. I wanted better track performance though I haven't been out enough yet to say whether it's worth it. So you should decide if the noise it worth it. Are you running OEM pads now? Are you experiencing brake fade? -------------------- 97 Cobra, 87 GT vert, 99 SHO Auto Performance Pages Posts: 59 | From: Santa Rosa | Registered: Jul 2002  |  : FordPny ¯ Member # 510 posted                              Im not to worried about noise as I am of dust. This weekend was just terrible when it came to fading by the time I got to the end of the track the only way to really get her to slow down was to downshift. Im running stock OEM pads. Bob, Have you driven hard on the plus atleast on the street? Dave I will be looking more into those pads thanks. -------------------- Holla at yoo boooyyy Posts: 2458 | From: San Jose CA | Registered: Oct 2001  |  : BlackNGold CaliforniaFords.com Moderator Member # 655 posted                              Are you still runnin the stock brakes?... -------------------- -SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT- Posts: 5132 | From: Bay Area, CA | Registered: Dec 2001  |  : FordPny ¯ Member # 510 posted                              Ya still got the stock brakes They fade like a mofo -------------------- Holla at yoo boooyyy Posts: 2458 | From: San Jose CA | Registered: Oct 2001  |  : Bill/APEX Motorsports ¯ Member # 636 posted                                 I'd recommend the HPPlus in the front, as well as some hi-performance rear shoes.
