I would say that if you are having lockup issues with HP+ it's not the pad, I would say that you might be not getting on the brakes properly, or something else wacky is happening. I run XP8's with Bobcat rears and have never had any issues with rear lockup.
For me, the HP+ have worked fine in the front. I like having to get a lot of pedal pressure to get ABS to engage, but to Spin9K's point, maybe if I tried more aggressive pads I would like them. Maybe instead of replacing my rears, I'll try some more aggressive front pads to try to correct my bias issue. My concern was the relatively hard street tires on my car would be the friction limiter, and it would be more difficult to modulate because lighter brake pressure would be required to lock the tires... Maybe the increased "linearity" of a racing pad makes that worth it. Only one way to find out, right?:) My original point was that for our (mostly stock?) cars on street tires at HPDE events, I think HP+ pads are adequate in terms of being fade resistant. |

While there is a difference between "pad deposit" and "pad transfer film", the fact is that the only way disc brakes work is with pad material being transferred to the rotor, at some level. The problem with running dedicated race pads and street pads on the same rotor is that the street pads typically will not be able to, in effect, scrape the transfer film of the race pads from the rotors, when switched. Ultimately, the street pads are likely to get big time squeal and shudder, due to the uneven pad transfer film that can develop.
