I hate the HPS because they have no bite or pedal feel. I feel like the stock Akebono pads are better to be honest.

Stoptech makes pretty high quality stuff. $5000 bbk anyone? Anyone ever used their stuff?

They do indeed. I've never used their pads, though.

(Assuming they are HPS)

You're the second person I've heard poo poo the Hawks. I've ran them (HPS+) on the Z now for four years and they work just fine for street driving. Granted I don't drive with them every day but they work fine for me (YMMV) with a couple of track days (until I swapped to Carbotechs for the track) and also for use at ZDayZ.

I'm assuming you mean HP+, in which case, yes, those are OK.

It's the HPS that are terrible and would never stand up to track use. And even on the street they lack bite.

Got you. Nobody here tracks their Zs much anyhow except for Henry who has been terrorizing the pavement lately from what I understand.

I'm not looking for pure track here obviously but I want something that will work well well with a forced induction set-up that will stand up to occasional track use. Open to suggestions.
