I just bought a set for my LS1 brake upgrade and havent installed them yet because I want to finish off my stock LS1 pads first, does any one have any opinions good or bad on these pads???

Thanks.

 

have them on my lt1, great pads for price and much much better than stock. =P

 

COOL! HOW ARE THEY FOR BRAKE DUST?

 

they grip great but dust like hell

 

The Plus dust, the HPS pads are fine.

I used the Plus pads for about 8 months, my wheels would turn black after 10 miles and they'd squeal like a stuck pig.

I have the HPS pads on now and I could go a week and you'd hardly even notice any dust. They don't stop nearly as good as the Plus pads but I just couldn't deal with the dust from the Plus any longer.

 

I had the exact opposite results. The HPS were like my old GM durastop+ pads, better than stock, but not much, and light dust. The HP+ pads have superior grip, and will get into the abs with light pressure on street tires( not on race rubber) but dust alot and sound like metal on metal if light pressure is applied.

 

Maybe I'm backward, which ones are blue, the Plus?? If so, I am backwards. Sorry about that.

Yea, I was backward... if I'd go read my own web site I would remember a little better!!!!!

Maybe I'll remember "Plus dust"....

 

yeah, my HPS+ pads have been on a week and i've never seen my front wheels so dusted black! but they stop like nothing i've ever had on the car (just did LS1 conversion). locking up street tires at will, and throwing me forward on race tires.

Hawk says, "may decrease pad/rotor life" lol i believe it

and they do squeak a little on slow stops

 

I went through those pads every 4-5 months. They eat rotors. But yes, if want to stop fast, they're awesome!!!!
