After a 215 mile one way trip running around 60 mph and then a straight =
up, switch backs, too many to count, run - brakes took a toll.  Right =
front had some smoking at bottom of mountain.  Brakes heavily used going =
up as well as down.  First - second gear a major work out, not to =
mention the operator - not sure I ever down- shifted 2nd to 1st this =
many times in any kind of run.

I was not really happy with the braking performance.  Any Hawk pad =
recommendations, tire rack sale,   HPS - High performance street, PC - =
HP Ceramic or HPS 5.0 HP street, anyone who has used for awhile and were =
happy or not happy, comments  would be appreciated.  Model and part =
numbers would be appreciated as Tire Rack does not list Sunbeams.  Not =
big on pads with alot of dust or noise.

This trip was to a British Car show outside of Ashville, NC.  About 200 =
car participating.  9 Sunbeams, 7 Tigers, 1 Alpine and 1 Algir.  Alpine =
won 1st with my Tiger coming in second.  Hot day and fun.  Next big =
Sunbeam gathering is the British Car Day outside of  Charleston, SC on =
October 19th.  If you are in the Southeast, you should try and make it =
although you must be pre-registered, no day of show registrations.

Thank you for the recommendations.
