Default bhp XPS brake pads

Anybody know anything about the bhp XPS brand/ model of brake pads ?

They are street pads but are supposed to work well when hot also.

Pretty spendy & I'm wondering if they are worth the $$...

Randy: I'm using BHP pads on my SC now, but I've only got about 1K miles on them. They're OK, but during light stops they make some noise, more than Jurid or Pagid. I have not had any directional issues, and pedal feel is excellent. Sorry that I can't tell you more.

Thanks Peter.

Any thoughts on dust, or initial 'bite'?

Are you comparing the noise level to Pagid Orange or to Blue, Black...

I'm wondering if these things are worth the money...

They actually stop well, and are very consistent in feel, which is also good. My calipers are all resealed, I've got hoses in good condition, and the pads were installed with new rotors. I'd say that initial bite is perfect. The noise level is just above that of a typical street Pagid or Jurid, and the dust is a little less.

Thanks Pete - they sound good - maybe not good enough, but good.
