i have SBS HH pads and they work great. I never tried them in the cold, but there never was an issue when they were not warmed up.
Not really concerned about them in the cold, just how they work "when they're cold"karl_1052 said:

huh....that's interesting....I thought that some of the "race" pads still didn't work very well until they get some heat in them.karl_1052 said:
in that case you will have no probs.
heat in pads was a thing of the 80s-early 90s.
I remember in my rabbit with race pads, I would cruise right through the first stop sign every morning(but after that, eyes would pop out). Nowadays they use better materials, that give almost 100% stopping right off the bat.
AKAIK the HH pads are a compromise of all out race pads and street pads, offering the best of both worlds.LeanAngle said:

I actually knew about cleaning the rotors. Didn't know how exactly to go about it, but I knew I had to clean them...I was leaning towards honda polish...glad you told me about the steel woolClay said:
Carbone Lorraine, best in the businessEBC's are "ok", but they have a problem with the back plate warping and causing rotor drag. Not a HUGE deal, but big enough to me anyways
I use the race pads (and damn...they're good), but the street pads are still good. Give 'em a try, I'll bet money they'll put a smile on your face

ONE THING THOUGH, you'll be changing compounds so you'll want to clean the rotors really well first. I use some steel wool. Some folks take them to a shop and have them sand blasted. If you don't clean them then you won't get the best braking. Just a word of advice
If you don't wanna get Carbone Lorraine, then Vesrah sintered are the next inline.
