I run Hawk HP+ pads on my Z4M and absolutely love them.
Remember, you can only brake as fast as your tires warrant. AKA if you have crappy tires better brakes won't help

Are you running the HP+ on the street or just for AX? Was thinking about giving them a try down the road, but I hear they are super noisy. I suppose I could swap pads in paddock, but I'm not sure how that works exactly - would I need to bed them each time? Is it okay to go back and forth between pads on the same rotor? Did you upgrade brake fluid too?
I can turn a wrench okay but I've never worked on brakes, so I'm a little intimidated by it. I should probably get over that.
In any case, any fiddling with brakes will probably wait until out of warranty next spring. I think I'm due a free set of OEM pads before then, so might as well take advantage.
