Feedback from the steering wheel (what I see vs what I feel vs where the wheels are pointed) Visual (gotta see where I'm going, and be aware of what's AROUND me [not just in front]) Auditory (does anything sound off? Tires making noise? Do I hear other cars? Is anything dragging?) Smell (do I smell anything overheating? burning?) Don't use taste though. |

@CSG Mike
Still sort of new to the brake pad world. Canyou shed some light for me on how to determine remaining pad life? I have a set of HP+ pads with 2 track days on them that I used on OEM tires. Frankly, they look great to me, but I want to make sure I'm not missing something a more experienced eye would catch. I can take pictures if you'd like as well. |

Also, try on as many as you can, so that you can find one that fits your head best. It's kind of like how everyone's head is either an Arai or Shoei shape. Quote:
If you take the pads off, you can see if there are signs of glazing/fading. If you post pictures, I'll be more than happy to give you my feedback. |

I did purchase before my first track day ever... The HJC is pretty solid, and is something we can get for you. |
