    Chris I'd say those are a pretty aggressive pad for a street car. You may not like the lack of initial bite & noise. Once warmed up they will work well, but that is just conjecture on my part.

    That's what I was wondering Chuck. I was hoping maybe someone had experience with them and could comment. With as little as I'm motoring these days I've got time to look.

    I did a bit of reading up on those & it seems they are more track oriented than street. If you tracked it would be a decent compromise. For just a street pad I think you'd be unhappy with them.

    For a nice street pad I'd recommend Akebono ceramics. I have them on my car & I like them. Decent stop & low dust.
