Brake Pad Manufacturer (F/R): Endless
Caliper (F/R): OEM
Rotor Size (F/R - IE OEM or specify): OEM
Compound (F/R): MX72 Plus front/rear
Tires: OEM Michelin PS4 (215/40/18) & Champiro SX2 (245/40/17)

Feedback: A very well behaved hybrid pad. Easy to modulate on track, never experienced fade. Good linear pedal feel. Not too noisy for daily use, a little squeal at low speeds. Similar to DS2500 in noise and dust levels. Not a strong initial bite, brake pressure increases smoothly with pedal pressure. Felt similar to Pagid RSL29.

Scores:
Dusting (1=high-10=low): 4
Cold bite (1=low-10=high): 3
Hot bite (1=low-10=high): 5
Modulation (1=low-10=high): 9
Noise (1=extremely loud-10=quiet): 7
Pad Lifespan (1=short-10=long): 6 HPDE days, 5000 daily miles. They are at 5mm now.
Does the brake dust with this combination damage the wheels/paint if not cleaned immediately? No
Brake ducts: No

Extra: A bit disappointed I only got 6 days (probably could have got 1 more) out of them as I really enjoyed the characteristics. Trying CSG CP Spec pads next, which appear similar in behavior, but hoping for longer life.
