yup another HPS advocate here. better performing than OEM and one of the cleanest pads out there

i've tried ferrodo, pagid, carbotech and yes these are all dirty and overpriced

For what application? Street, track, autox, other?

There are lots of pads out there to choose from.

as long as you don't run autoX or track type pads on the street, the brands i listed should be quiet

i made the mistake of also running some aggressive track (carbotech panther plus) and autoX (hawk HP Plus) pads for daily driving and it was driving me crazy, so noisy and annoying.

i was very happy with the HPS. great value, good bite, low dust, has sensors. perfect replacement for OEM calipers
