Brake Pad Manufacturer (F/R): Endless/Endless
Caliper (F/R): OEM/OEM
Rotor Size (F/R - IE OEM or specify): OEM/OEM
Compound (F/R): MX72/MX72
Tires: Dunlop Direzza ZII * in OEM size (215/45 R17)

Feedback:
While performance is decent, the dusting is just unacceptable! Will definitely try something else next trackday.

Scores:
Dusting (1=high-10=low): 1
The dust is RIDICULOUS. After just 3 hot laps the wheels (OEM) were completely dull. After two full days at the track (only did 40 laps) the wheels looked like they've never been washed since new. I've never seen a more dusty pad since I've sold my 2001 RenaultSport Clio.

Cold bite (1=low-10=high): 6
You won't have problems when pulling out of driveway on a winter morning, but if you don't warm them up, the first corner in a mountain drive can surprise you.

Hot bite (1=low-10=high): 8
Even without brake duct they are reasonably fade-free.

Modulation (1=low-10=high): 7

Noise (1=extremely loud-10=quiet): 7
Low noise if you have them properly bedded in.

Pad Lifespan (1=short-10=long): (estimate/actual)
I have yet to pull them out to inspect. Will update later.

Does the brake dust with this combination damage the wheels/paint if not cleaned immediately? (Y/N)
Fortunately no. The dust washed off with Sonax wheel cleaner.

Brake ducts: (Y/N)
None.
