New brake pads

STILL no news on my chip... This is getting quite ridiculous... In the meantime, my rear brake pads are almost done, so I thought I'd order up a set. Hawk HP Plus fit for street and track use.

I debated for a while about this, since these pads squeal like banshees during standard street use. But, I have Hawk HP Plus pads in the front and they stop SO well... so my noise concerns had to take a back seat.

I also ordered a front and a rear brake sensor cable. Trouble is, these pads, being intended primarily for track use, don't have the slot that houses the brake wear sensor. However, my hope is that I can very carefully drill a hole where the sensor is supposed to go and retro-fit them that way. We shall see!
