Icon2 Brake pads, yellowstuff or hp plus?

EBC yellowstuff or Hawk HP Plus, which do you think is better for the street/weekend track days?

i believe the yellow stuff might eat into your rotors to get better braking.

You'll want to look at a nice rotor/pad setup, not just the pad.
I went with the hawk hp+ and some brembo blanks, never tried the yellow stuff but i remember anything past green started to eat into the rotor.

Red Stuff on EBC blanks are great for me, but I've read a lot of negative posts since I started using them.

Have you upgraded to braided hoses yet? Well worth it if not..

Nope, i'm running Hawk HPS pads on the front with Power Slot Cyro rotors and Hawk HPS bads with stock rotors in the rear. Have yet to upgrade to braided lines, may be awhile since I don't drive the car often.
