I'm on my second set, fresh off the Rocky Mountain Run (last summer) and MR6 (Appalachian mts). I experienced ZERO fading in spite of braking hard enough entering some corners to activate the ABS.

I've not done any full-out HPDE track events, which is another level entirely. So, I can't comment on that. However, Mark Horner and some others here also do track events and are much better at answering specific questions RE: brake pads for the track.

Anybody here tried the PORTERFIELD pads? A comparison between the Hawk HPS and the Porterfield would be of interest for sure.



Thanks to Hib for bringing these PORTERFIELD pads to our attention!
