What do you recommend? What do you prefer between the two. It looks like the Hawk HP Plus is out of my price range. Also, which will last longer if it's just for street use? I've lasted on the OEM pads for 53k miles.
My Personal Favorite Perfomance Street pad is the PRB/AXIS Ultimate (Ceramic) ... cheap and good. The HP+ is a bit bettter BUT it dusts more, is a bit noisier when cold and is more expennsive. The Grandsport GS5 is also good if you can find it ... it is a bit closer to the HP+ I would say.

In Terms of longetivity ... I could not tell you ... I never run my pad to end ...they get swapped out well before the end of their life.
