Track pad for sure, streetable my ass, noisy, dusty and average cold bite. The only time they are fantastic is when beaten to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are my favorite pad to date and have lasted the longest. Mine aint noisy either... but dusty for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be the dust. Honestly matty the cold bite is crap, takes one even half decent stop and they are ready to go. Even say a quarter of a way into the first big stop they start to come alive so maybe im exaggerating a little they dont need a warmup lap but still not an ideal daily pad. Ralph went away from them for pretty much the reasons I have mentioned. I dont hate them they are amazing performers for the cost. Just a bit meh as a daily thing tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just something to keep in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not the ideal pedal feel for me I guess.. for example at the end of my street first stop is 60kmh to a stop down a hill havent touched the brakes yet. Always feel I have to push noticibly harder to stop there. Definitely better if the car was driven not long before. Also noticible to some extent in peak hour stop start traffic where they cant get hot. At 100kmh they will get hot very fast. Dont want them massively bitey at high speed anyway.

My thinking is they would be better than OEM but not as good as a performance street pad, for a single cold stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty much the only drawbacks I've found. But dust means they are working 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
