did you properly bed in the pads? you should be getting so much squeal. people often fail to bed and rebed the pads properly.
I guess if you drive on the street like you do at the track perhaps you can maintain the transfer layer, but now we're talking about a different set of problems.. HP+ definitely shouldn't be "louder than a bus" though.
Ditto. Re-bedding pads is a PITA. The squeal is, of course, most obnoxious when you pull into work.

Re-fixed. don't misquote me.
It certainly is somebody's personal preference to choose their brake pad. However, if you are driving hard enough to fade a set of street pads on a public road, it's called reckless driving. It's not opinion, it's law. I suppose if you choose to drive in this manner on the street, you should have an appropriate pad and keep us slowpokes safe.

I have never faded my oem pads or axxis ultimate or the current hp+'s I am fairly easy on the breaks. I don't know why you are assuming reckless driving when the point I was trying to make is some people prefer higher coefficient of friction from their pad for their daily commute.

need vs. desire
If you need hi-temp pads on on a street car, you are being too aggressive for public roads. If you desire hi-temp pads on a street, that is certainly anybody's prerogative.
