Same here, best all round performance and value.

Most fast-road/track-day pads will give you loads of brake-dust so be prepared for lots of wheel cleaning

I found Hawk HP+ pads to be as good as ds2500's on track with oem discs & cheaper too;

I must admit the DS2500s are looking very good on the brake dust side of things. So far they are producing much much less than the previous OEM pads.

hawk hp+

i do find you have to get a bit of heat in them first for them to get really good though!

What are genuine pads like on track?

We have just picked up a set über-cheap but unsure as to whether they'll cope with a day at Combe or if we are better off splashing out for DS2500's/Hawk HP's. It's a fair amount of weight to haul up ~1250kgs for a stripped out 4ws 4g?

As its our first time out in the Prelude I doubt we'll set the world alight- however I only tend to drive flat-out on track

(& Combe is a favourite

)

I'm using EBC discs and their Red Stuff pads... they're alright for the price!

OEM pads may struggle after a few laps. What fluid and hoses are you using?

I have found the Hawk HP+ to be very good on brake dust. My hawks work great from cold.

Not sure what fluid it's on but the hoses are stock.

Discs/fluid & pads were all done at PAW about a year ago I believe (car has been stored off the road for much of the time since)

Think we might look at The Hawk pads- nothing worse than a track day compromised by poor stoppers
