I also run them on the street, they work fine. I swapped over when I got tired of fighting break dust on my chrome rims.

I like em on my 94
They do need a little heat to perform their best and another bonus is they produce much less dust and it is a lighter color
Oh yeah mine are Bendix

This is the pad you should look at.
The Carbotech Bobcat 1521™ is our high performance street compound that is our most successful compound. The Bobcat compound is known for its awesome release and modulation, along with unmatched rotor friendliness. Like our AX™ & XP™ line of compounds, Bobcat 1521™ is a Ceramic based friction material offering minimal rotor damage and non corrosive dust. Bobcat 1521™ offers outstanding performance, even when cold, low dusting and low noise with an excellent initial bite. This compound’s virtually perfect linear torque production provides incredible braking force without ABS intervention. Bobcat 1521™ operating range starts out at ambient and goes up to 900°F. Bobcat 1521™ is suitable for ALL street cars, perfect for your tow vehicle, police cruiser, and has won multiple SCCA Solo 2 and Prosolo National Championships. The Bobcat 1521™ compound has been found to last two-three times longer than OE pads you can purchase at a dealership or national retailer. Bobcat 1521™ compound has also been found to extend the life of your rotors 2-3 times. That’s one of the beauties of Carbotech Ceramic brake compounds. Bobcat 1521™ is NOT recommended for any track use.

Ceramic pads are included with slotted rotors Ive got coming, I have never heard of the pads "Protech ceramic pads D412 and D415"'so dont know if they are for street/track use or even worth Installing in the first place.The supplier could give me no info on them.
