Hi Moose, thanks for putting this great thread together. I don't know where you find the time.

I am at the crossroads as to what direction to take as in going with either a designated change at the track set up tires (RA-1's) & brake pads (Hawk Blues) and rotors (B.B.) or my current configuration.

If I wish to stay with an arrive and drive set up I need advice on front pads, I realize that this is a compromise.

Can you suggest a front pad to go with my Motul fluid R.B.F. 600 and Falkin Azenis' R615's, I am currently running on machined OE fronts rotors.
I have Hp+'s on the rear but I eat through these things on the front especially after extended lapping most recently with Hada at the Fabi track.

I have an FG2 and always seem to run with Big Boned passengers, making me over 3100 pounds wet. I am also a very late on the brakes, you can ask Miles about this.

YouTube - Shannonville lapping at the Hada event

I don't care about dust (non toxic) and squealing as it's nothing the radio can't fix.

I have heard good things about Project Mu's (HC+) but are they streetable and are they that much more than Hp+'s.
Their web site is an literal straight Japanese to English translation, probably done by some computer program and it makes it very difficult to determine which one is best for my needs.

What is the most aggressive and durable under high operating Temps brake pad that can be ran on the street and would it be compatible with Hp+'s on the rear. I don't want to effect the brake distribution thing. If the MU's are significantly higher priced could you suggest a more cost effective option.

I wish they still made GS3's.

Thanks again hope to see you at the track sometime to get my camber bolts.
