Gary, Dick and Sam,
Appreciate all the help and advice.
Sam, I always screw up the ICP's letters. Yes,
Richard and Steve's company.
Gary, your testing assessments are exactly what I was
looking for (and the results are what I would have
expected.) Scared myself with the original Hawk Black
pads on my very first run with the car on a cold (38
degree) early May morning several years back. Didn't
improve much with better weather in June so I put in
the HPS pads and they worked great.
Dick, I had called Essex yesterday and they didnt
have any HPS pads. They sold their dusty (2) set off
their "clearance rack" several weeks back for less
than $30.00/set! I called them back this morning and
asked them to check again and they offered up set of
in stock HP Plus pads for $56.00 so I purchased them.
New Question:
Mini Mania has one set of HPS pads in stock ready to
ship (for $20.00 over list price) and both Essex and
Pegasus have offered to get a another set of HP Plus
pads for me from Hawk. Am I better off running HP
Plus pads all around or going with HP Plus pads on the
fronts and HPS pads on the rear?
Trivia:
LD20's (or pad equivalents) were used on the original
Mini Cooper "S" model. No luck finding "stock" pads
(the internet is too polluted with new mini parts.)
Thanks again.
Craig
