It makes it so much easier to keep my chrome 505a's clean and I wouldn't use any other type of brake pad.

I've been running these with drilled/slotted rotors for about 9 months. Very good stopping power even after heating them up, better than stock. Low amount of brake dust, wheels are easier to keep clean

Ceramic is good for street use low dust, not for track use.

Carbotech pads for auto cross and track events.

SAME HERE, I EVEN PUT THEM ON WIFES CAR AND GREAT RESULTS.
I NEVER MAKE MULTIPLE PANIC STOPS FROM 80 MPH SO I CAN'T GIVE ADVICE ON THAT RESULT.
