new brakes...

So many of you will sneer at this, but I just had Goodridge lines and HP+ pads installed, and am really impressed.

I went from stock (really crappy) to HPS (a little better, but not much) and now finally to HP+.

I used to have to really stand on the pedal to get into abs (I mean seriously, with stock pads I thought I was going to bend the pedal). now even gentle pedal pressures get me into abs (well, I'll get used to it, and then I wont consider it gentle anymore, but anyway).

btw, I went through the HPS's in one and a half weekend. I was really surprised when I looked at them today. the backs we're still over half there, but the fronts were down to like 15-20% holy crap!!! I hope it's not a Hawk thing, and these HP+'s last a little longer...

they squeal a little when hot (like when I was bedding them), but now they are not too bad at all. I guess i'll see how they do over the next few weeks.

anyway, nothing to write home about in the face of all the mega race pads you guys are running, but I am really pleased with my new brakes...
