Was doing some trawling for pads info earlier and found a few webpages that I thought were quite useful.

One of them was a page on Elise options with lots of choices/info:
wiki.seloc.org/a/Brake_pads

and it also has the Hawk mu graph that I've wanted to refer to but they've (very annoyingly) removed from their site:

They have a graphic of Yellowstuff vs Hawk pads on there, too, which looks to have been taken from a Car and Driver blog:
blog.caranddriver.com/performance-brake-pads-compared-hawk-hps-hawk-hp-plus-ebc-yellowstuff/%7C

Useful, also encouraging as I've just switched my fronts to Hawk HPS compound for hillclimbs and sprints... looks like they should work well from cold

The HP+ are excellent from cold in my experience, so let us know your thoughts!

Used them in anger at the weekend at Gurston Down Hillclimb. I'm pleased, at least on a par with the axxis, maybe even a bit better. Will have to wait till a track day to see how they really compare but so far, so impressed

Doing a couple of track sessions over the next few weeks so will report back.

queenie: Hiya fellas and fellettes. My name is Gary, I am 72, live in rural Victoria (Australia), am an unashamed Anglophile and own a gold 1998 NB. I bought her in 2016, reflecting at the time that I had wanted a car like this since age 15. Yep, took me 50 years! Dec 31, 2023 5:58:34 GMT

Simon: Nice and quiet in here, but I'm back with vengance! Car with a knackered crank is now having a full rust and engine resto at Basset Down! Will be spenny, but excited to have a 'good' car again. Jul 2, 2024 16:29:20 GMT
