Anyone heard of/used BHP brake pads?

Pelican Parts labels them as a true dual use street/track pad. That makes me think it's BS already since that is the holy grail.

I'm about to get Carbotech XP8's but remember how they squealed on my M3.

I have not used BHP. I have used Hawk's dual use pad. And it wasn't any good. I upgraded to a dedicated track pad (Hawk HT-10) and haven't looked back.

IMO, you can't have a pad that is good at both street and track. Compromises need to be made for each use, which leaves the driver wanting more out of the pad for each use.

Depending on your intended use, I'd go with a dedicated performance street pad or track pad. It sucks swapping pads at the track, I agree. But it's a necessary evil.

Cheers,

I am currently using Pagid Orange Rs44 and they are pretty darn good. They are especially good when they are hot.
