This is not a street pad at all - too much dust and WAY too much noise. But with a MOT of 1650F they take quite a bit of abuse and keep gripping. Plus they showed almost no signs of wear after four track weekends!
Does anybody else want to get a set while CT has my backing plates to use as a template?
For people looking for more stopping power on the street, take a look at the CT 1521 street pad. This was my daily pad on my Evo and I loved them. Less dust than stock (but probably more than our OE pads), no noise and great pedal feel. I autocrossed on them a couple of times and they held up fine.

That's a good idea. Brake pads always take forever on the aftermarket. Heck Hawk still doesn't even have pads for the F10 5 series yet!
