Have you looked into Axxis Ultimates?

both will work really well

the hp+ is probably what you are looking for, it is a little noisy sometimes though

 

HP+ screech very loud, but stopping power is

I recommend that you get the GT Sport pads from Cobalt Friction. Great stopping power, and mine never squeal at all, on either car (ITR or NSX). I've used the HP+ before and I think the GT Sport just does everything a little bit better.

But you don't have to take my word for it. Call the folks at Cobalt and discuss it with them. They sell the Hawk pads as well as their own pads (GT Sport, Spec VR, etc) and they can tell you exactly how they compare. They are very knowledgeable and their prices are excellent also.

 

I know you dont care about dust, but with the HP+ you really need to clean your wheels alot, and make sure that they never get wet then dry. If they are caked with dust, get wet, then dry out, you are looking at a nightmare to remove the dust. The stopping power is great, but they can be quite noisy.

If you need a pad just for the street, you may want to give the KVR carbon fibre street pad a try. Its not noisy, good stopping power, but it does dust quite a bit.

 

does anyone know a place to get Axxis Ultimates online?

Cobalt sells Axxis pads as well as Hawk pads and their own pads (and Pagid and Ferodo), and yes, you can order online. However, again, I would recommend that you pick up the phone and talk to them. Their people are very knowledgeable and they can help you choose exactly the pad that best meets your needs, and they can tell you how all of these pads compare with each other.

 

ok thanks ill take your advice and call them tommorow
