[QUOTE="MFE, post: 12316653, member: 36397"] Your biggest problem is the Hawk HPS pads. They are simply not capable of handling the heat you're generating. HPS stands for "High Performance Street". You'd be better off with HP+ pads, but you'd be better off still with any of the better options out there. I'm a big fan of Carbotech, and you'd be fine with a set of their XP10's in the front. Cobalt makes good stuff too, and there are other options if you can sift through the mY pAdS aRe ThE bEsTeSt crap. But job number one is putting some higher-capacity pads on it for your next outing. You don't need to be the next guy in a line of hundreds who have spent thousands of dollars on high-buck rotors and calipers and all they [i]really[/i] needed was $200 worth of pads. Do that first, then consider what else you need. As far as that goes, I'd spring for better calipers before I'd waste money on dots and slots in the rotors. Also...and this is critical...the factory Cobra front brake lines have been known to melt and fail during high-heat track usage, with fatal consequences. Upgrade to braided stainless lines if you haven't already. . [/QUOTE]
