"For street and autocross use; not intended for open track sessions"

I'd absolutely pick them up for OE replacements for street duty as I think they are actually cheaper than buying OE pads from just about anywhere, but I might be wrong on that though. It might be a mild upgrade that would be pleasing for some owners, I don't have a good frame of reference for that, but I doubt it's worth tossing out the OE pads.
Probably what I'll be replacing my OE ones for when the time comes. Good enough for me, as getting to track days is way too hit or miss with the work schedule I have. Autox will probably be all I'll ever have the time for.
