Now having said that, there's one thing I've finally noticed in all of my research; I have not found one single negative comment about these Bobcat pads...not one. All the feedback I've seen has been very positive. They are a bit pricey in comparison to the Hawks, but maybe they are that much better??

You've finally peaked my interest in your product...it's just a shame that it took me weeks to actually give your product a serious look. Just my humble opinion...
We have been trying to get rid of the bobcat and just call it the 1521. But the customers keep asking for bobcat. Would you like to place an order? I f so contact me at 216-780-8825 We have the 7% off for forum members.

I run the Bobcats and I have zero complaints with them. I don't track my car, but on the street I can see 2 BIG differences between them.......much less dust and a lot less noise. Gotta love that.
