If I would like to get these nismo project ns pads or similar like these from ebay:

can I install them on stock rotors/etc or do I need to replace rotors?
for brembo I need to replace rotors right?
Thanx

Ok, I'm going to be doing some track days, so I need some serious brake power. I bought SS brake lines and ATE Blue fluid, now I need the pads. My friends who tracked their car with Hawk HPS said they weren't good enough for the track, so I'm looking at either the Hawk HP plus pads, or the Nismo R tune. Does anyone have experience with these? Are going to be bad for my rotors (stock brembos)? I know the HP Plus can be used on the street as well but what about the Nismo R's?

+2 I hear a lot about the Hawk HPS however many seem to say they don't bite as well in the beginning (but that may or may not be referring to the older model years). Trying to figure out what is better.

If I had non Brembo brakes, then no doubt about it, I would get the Grubbs performance brake pads. Where you with us at MSR during their track event? The professional race driver who was giving ride-alongs was running their performance brake pads.. out of this world. He gave ride after ride at insane speeds and the brake pads held up, on stock rotors non-the-less (although he had modified the bumper with some ducting to get air flowing to the brakes). If they made those pads for the Brembo calipers, I would be all over them.
