Brake pad recommendations?

Just went thru some "BHP Performance" pads in 6 DE days, which is to say 8 weeks. Is that normal? Recommendations for pads that last longer? My car is ~ 2/3 street, 1/3 DE.

Really depends on how you brake and how many miles you put on track, type of track (some will eat a pad a weekend), temperature. So yes, not bad. I just killed my OEM's pads on a track this weekend. Before that, my Pagid Oranges lasted 4-2 day weekends at VIR and CMP. Hard braking, and a track like CMP is a hard on pads.

I am now running Mintex reds, get them at Pelican for $37. Same manufacturer as Textar (Porsche OEM), and so far they feel the same on the street and track, but not the same on the wallet!!! I keep a couple of boxes around just in case.

I'm using a set of the Hawk HP+'s and have been very happy with them for 'vigorous' street driving. Fairly rotor friendly and great stopping power.

Izzy, saw your car this weekend but couldn't find you. :)
