So I ran some instructor laps on the street tires and 1521's. While they worked fine, the weather was so awful I really didn't get to run at speed so I can't say what would have happened otherwise.
By way of comparison I was able to fade Hawk HT-10's at SOW running CCW but the RP2 never faded. Frankly this pad may be enough for non-competition use with the stock system. We will see...

Instructor laps should be slow anyway, I've had 9 people sick in my car before......
If these come out at around $500 for all 4, the RP2 is going to be my pad of choice. I have used the very endurance oriented RS29 for daily driving even on freezing cold days and it really wasn't as bad as people think but it took more pedal pressure on the first stop or two.
Guys, jump in on this so we can hopefully get them to build some interest and just make us pads so we dont have to waste a stock set :P
