i think i'm pretty aggressive for the run group i go in, i usually go in the novice since i only have about 3 track days under my belt, but i'm usually passing a lot of people-i might need to bump up this year
edit: you really think hp+ would be good enough? maybe if i had some better tires i'd need some stronger brakes?
edit 2: wow 0-1450? that sounds beyond perfect, or do those tear up rotors the way the hp+ supposedly do?

If you are running on A/S street tires then HP+ will be fine .... your tires will always be the limiting factor. I used to Run HP+ on my track car (with R-compounds) .... they worked reasonably well, not perfect by a long shot, but way better than OE. I ultimately upgraded to a dedicated set of track rotors and Hawk Blues which I would change out at the track.
HP+ are VERY rotor friendly ... they just dust a fair bit. They should provide a good balance between mostly street and some track. I like the initial bite, and the REALLY good modulation. Very easy to drive fast on.
The Project Mu Titan Kai's are Great BUT uber expensive ... BUT what do you expect with a broad heat range like that ... and they are pretty rotor friendly ... BUT I would not run them in the winter.
I have run the Carbotechs, and did not like them ... but I am a monority, alot of peeps swear by them.
Cobalts may also be an option ... I have heard good things about them.
The Porterfield R4S are similar to the Hawk HP+ ... it really depends on what your locally supplier can do for you. That may end up dictating what your get.
