sometimes i think we're all marching backwards

my new hawk hp+ rear brake pads for the r32 came yesterday. i tossed them on after work and went out for a drive to bed them in. i could immediately notice a different in the amount of friction generated by them. the car seems to squat down on hard braking more than dive forward, as it did before. they are an aggressive street pad suitable for club racing, so they will complement the hawk ht-10 front pads i run on the track very nicely and provide much more balanced braking than with the oem rear pads i was running. i have a feeling the tires are not going to cope very well, however...
