Sounds good!

If a good enough crowd wants to get together for Yukai and C&C I will definitely make the drive down. Probably won't be in the s2k though.

I have missed the last two C&Cs, so I plan to make this one. Yukai is a great incentive.

I may be able to make something Saturday. Love me some sushi.

As for brakes, mine suck. They are OEM and my Prelude has always braked far better. This is something I plan to fix over the off season.

I'm very happy with the performance of my HP+ pads although they dust like crazy! That's my only complaint. Not sure if I'll try something else next or what.


and I'm very much looking forward to Yukai! I haven't been in a while. I'm not sure I'll have the Clubsports back together and on the car though so I might be driving the old Volv

yeah, there has got to be a middle ground. I've got pbr/axxis pads on the Prelude and the dust is rediculous. Brake dust will etch the wheels if left to sit too long.

I think I have HPS on the S, no bueno. I'm going to flush the lines and go with ATE super blue/gold.

What's why you wash them I've got Opti-Coat on the rpf1s and they will clean spotless with almost no effort.

I've also always heard the HPS aren't any better than the OEM pads. Maybe look at Carbotech bobcats? I'm not 100% sure they make them for the S2k. Ferodo has some good pads too. Had those on my first Subaru and they didn't dust too bad.

Medium as in the compound? Pretty sure they're mediums. I don't think the US gets the soft version.
