Brake Pad Reviews

I successfully used the hp+ on the 350z and the C6, but the 370 brakes just get too hot for them

I destroyed them in both cars you listed, that's why I stay with Carbotech now.

I used the HPS twice, never again for any driving. They have no initial bite, especially when wet. You are better off buying Wagner pads from Advanced Auto

I am running the HPS now and agree about the intial bite. They're certainly not an upgrade over the Akebono sport pads, IMO.
