I was under the impression from speaking with Hawk sales people that the HP+ pad and the HPS pad have the same (low) maximum operating temperature
I'm sure I'm missing something here, but how are you able to heat up the brakes enough to melt the dust boot rubber and not overheat the HP+ pad in a huge way? (perhaps the overheat/melting of the HP+ contributed to this melting of boot?)
Apples and oranges to compare a WRX to a E9X but I've melted Hawk HPS/Brembo 'performance' (misnomer) pads and other street pads before without harming the rubber seal so something seems fishy here
I buy the argument that r comps, race pads and big power with generate big heat, but with HP+ (essentially a grabby street pad) in the picture are we sure there is really THAT much heat in the system?
