What pads to buy? (Hawk HP+ alternative?)
What pads to buy? (Hawk HP+ alternative?)
I will change my brakes soon.
For the rotors I'll go with Brembo plains for sure but I am hesitating on what to choose for the pads.
I am looking for a performance pad that I can use on the street.
I've had Hawk HP+ pads on my past vehicle and I was very satisfied with those.
My only concern is the noise they emit when braking and I've heard that the HP+ do a LOT of noise on the Minis.
Anyone have an alternative to suggest to me? Something that gives a really good performance when abused at the track and that can be used on the streets?
Or is there a way to make sure the HP+ will stay silent?

To make the brake pads more quiet, use Disc Quiet on the back of the pads. It generally works quite well. I like the spray version better than the liquid version.
Another pad to consider for the street would be the Carbotech 1521.
