DBA Rotors and HPS Hawk Pads

I currently have the HPS pads with the Power Slot rotors for daily driving. If I were to get a new set of pads I'd end up with something else.

Then again I don't know much about braking haha. It doesn't feel like I'm stopping any sooner.

If you're able to reach the point of ABS engagement with your pad/rotor combo - which can certainly be done with stock pads/rotors - then the only thing that will make you stop sooner is better tires. Race pads and race rotors tolerate heat better... that's it.

Not saying that your rotors aren't warped, but read this about warped rotors: -Warped- Brake Disc and Other Myths
