Hawk HPS pads question?
They have HPS Street pads and HP Plus Race pads. Which one is a good choice for street use, but I don't mind extra brake dust. If the only difference is dust then that's fine if the Race ones stop better in dry and rain.

You don't want the HP+ pads unless you like your wheels pitted. They are definitely not daily use pads although I know people who have used them daily. The HP+ brake dust is corrosive when added with water. The HPS is a great pad for autocross and daily driving. Only a little dusting compared to my AEM pads.

I had EBC Green stuff and they glazed over in two months of autocrossing - EBC = crap pads. Ask anyone who's ever owned them minus you.
