I changed my front and rear brake pads, hawk ceramic, they are great! I also change my stock tires (bridgestone r040 sucks!) with Toyo Proxes TR1 (after did a research, I chose this because price/perfomance, perfect tires!)

As far as the Hawks HP+ on rotors, I got two scared rotors to prove it. 30K miles on a set of rotors = no scar. 1200 miles on HP+=scar around the rotor.

Been using HP Plus pads now for two cars as a street/ HPDE track day pad. I really like the performance and flexibility of this pad for street/track use- especially on our cars. Thus far, on the RX8, no fade on track after a couple of intense track days (4 to 5 sessions lasting up to 50 minutes each). On a heavier, underbraked Stage II WRX Wagon, they would fade after about 20-30 minutes on track on stock calipers. Nevertheless, I really enjoy not having to swap pads after an event and these HP plus fit the bill. Carbotech sells a similar pad as well in their Panther Plus.
Anyhow, this has nothing to do with the original question of this thread, but seeing that conversation had drifted to HP Plus, I thought I'd chime in with my 2 cents on the compound.
