Hawk HP+ courtesy of Luke... Worth the noise?

At that instant I will not have the luxury of pre-heating the pads.

And you won't need to. I haven't noticed any need for pre-heating at all. And the last time I drove mah V, it was 35 out...

I'll be calling Luke tomorrow. First track day is the 19th of next month (my second one ever). I can't wait! It's nice how easy it is to change pads on our cars (other than taking the wheel off which is just annoying).

I have Luke's Hawk HP+ in the front and stock in the rear -- and the rear make a little noise, Zero up front
These pads are GREAT, under heavy brake feels like your eyes are about to come out of your sockets...
More brake dust then stock but worth it.
I was about to swap after the track event, but since I dont drive much I left them in.
If you search you can find the pad replacement procedure....
BUT I like bring my car in for a nut and bolt check before every trak event...
