I had a heap of stuff on pads somewhere. Prices and data that sort of thing. Hawk come highly reccommended out of the US, but at $500 for the front set they'd want to drive their own bloody cool down lap. There was confusion over whether or not they had a pad for the Jap, ABS, TT model also that I never resolved. The importer is in SA somewhere. The local stuff doesn't have a listing for the Soarer (in hi performance pads) so unless some other model shares the same pad...
Then there is the Jap stuff like EBC etc but with the exchange rate they aren't cheap either. Sometimes the Hype is worth more than the part. In Darwin among the IPRA/club cars a lot of guys ran those Lucas pads as a compromise between cost and performance. I used them on the Rx-7. I boiled the brake fluid before I got pad fade.
