other up sides: street pads are much easer on rotors than the hybrids, and full race pads work MUCH, MUCH better on the track than hybrids.

if you plan on doing more than one DE per year, get dedicated sets of each pad type and swap the race pads in prior to your DE. it will be cheaper in the long run and you will LOVE the way they perform.
