I've been riding on HP+ for about a thousand miles now. And I absolutely hate it.



The brake dust is unbelieveable.



I'm completely fed up with it.



I do not track the car at all, so the HP+ are completely unnecessary.



I'm switching back to either stock or HPS (which supposedly has almost no brake dust, anyone car to comment?)



Mazda wants $200 for stock brake pads.



Damn crack heads.



I guess i'll sell the HP+ pads if anyone wants them. 50 bucks, my car is a 93

yeah, HPS do dust a bit, but not terrible. After a day of cruising through the corners with other 7s getting on the brakes HARD my rims will only have a light dusting.

dust on your rims covers the blemishes and shows you are one hardcore **********r

Brake dust also pits your rims if you dont clean it off regularly.

I put HP+ on my front and now the back wheels are dusting up much worse than before, apparently there is too much dust for the front wheels alone.

So sad, now my once a week car washing isnt enough unless I start putting alot more miles on the motorcycle or the REPU.
