One caution, don't try this on your sister's Grand-Am! I did when I was 17, and those puppies caught fire real nice! I had to put them out with a fire extinguisher. Lesson learned; A grocery-getter and parts store pads are not designed for this usage!

Also interesting, there's no real benefit for a street car unless you're preparing for a track day, as the disc coating will just wear off with normal usage.

Thanks,
Steve
