Performance Friction Brake Pads

Hard good reviews about it on the UK board and decided to order a front set for my coming track day. Was considering the Pagid RS4-2 but had terrible experience with the dust level.

I got the 97 compound which was recommended for fast road and the occasional track day.

Good Points
- Much firmer pedal feel
- Works from cold
- Gentle on the discs (hardly any noticeable wear after my track day)
- Better braking than stock pads on track

Bad Points
- Terrible dust, I would say worse than Pagid RS4-2
- Dust sticks to my wheels which I can't completely get off
- Noisy under moderate braking at times when the pads get up to temperature

I'm removing them this week to get back to the stock pads. I'll miss the firmer pedal feel of the pads but I rather sacrifice that for my wheels.

After just 1 week with a track day thrown in, my front wheels has this 'rough' feel to the surface. Some of the dust can't come off no matter how hard I scrub them with a sponge I hate to see my 3 months old Carrera light weights in this condition...
