I'd never recommend these. The idea with DR-97's is to stop really fast cars in a short distance, one time. Matter of fact the "application" list shows them being suitable for only drag racing.

 

Pad choice can be a matter of personal preference, however I have experienced what Sam stated above and I prefer HPS's. Heck, my friend who bought my street Camaro tried the HP Plus's as well and had the same experience I did.

He liked the feel of HP Plus's at first, until he learned proper driving techniques. He switched right back to HPS's because the aggressive compound screwed with his brake modulation technique really badly and actually increased his lap times.

 

this thread is almost 3 years old wtf lol

 

true, but at least I did what the mods prefered which is...

if one searches or sees a thread with an old topic and decides to add something relevant... then I just post to ttt as opposed to the various amounts of threads on a similar subject.

 

haha alright i see what you're saying. you had me cracking up though!!

 

It's OK to bring up an old thread if there is something new to add to it.
