Feedback:
Not a whole lot of bite, but they have plenty of stopping power if you really get in there. Pedal feel was a little spongy, even with fresh fluid and recent bleed. Dust and noise everywhere. They worked just fine for me at a high-speed sweeping track like Texas World Speedway, but failed terribly at a more technical track like MSR-Houston. Lots of moderate-heavy braking without a whole lot of cooldown time between. Pads started to fade after 5 laps or so. Smeared them all over the front rotors. As a first track day pad, they're fine, but once you start to get faster they fall on their face.
Scores:
Dusting (1=high-10=low): 2
Cold bite (1=low-10=high): 5
Hot bite (1=low-10=high): 4
Modulation (1=low-10=high): 7
Noise (1=extremely loud-10=quiet): 3
Pad Lifespan (1=short-10=long): (estimate/actual) ?
Does the brake dust with this combination damage the wheels/paint if not cleaned immediately? (Y/N) ?
Brake ducts: (Y/N) No
