Didn't you say the car had HP+s in that video?
R4S and AX6 are GREAT daily driver pads with great characteristics on both the street and track and held up to a sub 2:00 at Buttonwillow. The AX6s dust a little more than the R4S though.

"How do you like the brakes?"
"Tight, good pedal feel. If all you've done is pads, then it really works"
"It's just hawk HP+ pads and DOT4 fluid".

You're referencing Matt Farah's One Take of my NSX. The video I just posted is me autocrossing the girlfriend's AP1.
But yes, I'll consider those pads for the NSX as well.

I was commenting on your enjoyment of the nsx, and gave a brake pad recommendation based off of the what you said you were running in the NSX video you posted. Pretty simple.

I'm entertained.

Just in case no one figured this out yet, the logical upgrade from an s2k, is a boosted s2k 
There are far more options to move laterally or down from an s2k. I would call the NSX more of a lateral change. Its a different platform entirely, power to weight is still comparable, the car isn't really better at anything, but both have their stronger points in handling depending on the usage. The rest is just emotional. I view a lot of Porsche options people move to the same way.

I love the S2K, but one of the reasons I'm moving to a Boxster S, besides more power, is that as a tall guy (6'2") I just don't fit that well in the S2K, even with aftermarket seats. The biggest problem is the non-adjustable wheel.
