I installed a set this year. I have Wilwood calipers front and rear. Previously tried Hawk, Porterfield, and Wilwoods pads. All were their mild race grade compounds. I didnt care for their lack of initial bite and vague feel under hard braking. Also the rears were noisy, like a freight train trying to stop kind of noisy. Hated it!
I am using G-loc R10 all around for track use. They are better in every way. Good bite, not too much. Excellent modulation. The pedal feel is good under threshold braking. So far the wear and dusting looks reasonable... and minimal noise from the back. YAY!
I have a set of the AX compound to try yet for autocross so we'll see what those are like.
I was going to buy Carbotechs since they do a 10% discount for SCCA but then they wanted $24 for shipping. Apparently to make up for it. Every other vendor I had shopped was much less or free shipping. Not playing that game. The G-locs are same if not better quality and compound AND a good bit cheaper.
