As soon as I read, "electro-pop" I figured they would suck. So, I went and listened to a song, "The Mother We Share" and I like it. Kind of reminds me of Roxette, same single female vocal with the synth accompanying.

Thats actually old school spelling of the letter "U".

They also did it for Google. Much easier to search for band specific info with the V instead of a U.

eastwest2300 · 11-30-2013, 07:44 AM

more like euro pop.

Thanks steve..

I love me some electro/euro-pop, but not a fan of Chvrches.

dmhenderson · 11-30-2013, 06:13 PM

I bit on that Quaife LSD after talking to you guys today and went with Hawk brake pads rather than the Stoptech pads. Oh btw, R/T is selling Hawk for 30% off as well

m4a1mustang · 11-30-2013, 06:17 PM

Oh god... cancel the Hawk order. TURRIBLE!!!!

(Assuming they are HPS)

I love 'em. Lauren Mayberry is delightful.

RT2S2 whatever that means. They're carbon or something. I thought someone here was running them and loved them...? Should I switch back to Stoptech? I was under the impression that Hawk was sturdier.

m4a1mustang · 11-30-2013, 06:34 PM

Without knowing which model hawks they are I'm not sure. I know from experience the HPS suck... terrible bite. No experience with Stoptech. I am a big fan of Ferodo DS2500 on the street. Aggressive street pad that will stand up to everything I can do at ZDayZ.

dmhenderson · 11-30-2013, 06:52 PM

Anyone else here have anecdotal brakepad opinions? Would be helpful.

Hawk HP Plus for track are great. Not for street though. They squeak and dust a lot. The squeak will stop if u get them hot enough but you will never keep them hot enough using them on the street. HP Street are decent street pads. The also dust quite a bit but if u want a good stopping pad that's what you will have to deal with.
