Anyone had experience with HAWK HP Plus? I need a crossover pad as mine is a daily but my car will probably see 4-6 circuit days a year.
Any other recommendations? I've been told to go PMU HC+ but they seem a tad expensive!

Hawk HP Plus are a similar type of pad, but I liked the HC+ better the one time I tried them (this was before I was tracking). The HC+800 is supposed to be better in every way than the HC+.

Found out my friend James has been using HC+800 in his highly tuned Audi S4. Crazy custom Ohlins suspension setup, 265 tires all around, around 400hp, the works. He does the exact type of street driving as me, and he couldn't be happier with them. He is driving a pretty heavy car on some pretty brutal downhill roads and makes full use of the brakes with no issues. 
I paid $195 shipped for a full set of HC+800s for the S2000.

Just some initial impressions, should have put the car through a good shake down with the new pads after this weekend.

Thanks for the $5 credit! Just received the notification. If you want some pads, buy from these fine gentlemen!
I couldn't be happier with the pads with basic driving on the street. They work MUCH better than OEM pads for day to day driving, the initial bite is greatly improved, and the bite never really fluctuates, even in the rain. The only heavy braking I have done so far is during bed-in and onto on ramps and things, but expect a much more thorough review after tomorrow night. Some brake pad hating long downhill runs where every corner is inherently harder on the brakes, where after doing a long run through it is pretty standard to see some cooked up smoking brakes.
I will get it posted up on your site as well. I definitely find myself purposefully diving into normal everyday corners more just so I can enjoy the feel of the brakes
I think they are a much better match for high-end grippy street tires than the OEM pads for sure.
