This is the reason I gave up on the DS2500 for street use. They were great once I'd driven a mile or two and they had some heat in them. But backing down my sloped driveway was a little unnerving when they were stone cold. Kept thinking I was going to back right into my neighbor kids GTI parked across the street.
Oddly, even though true track pads are supposed to be worse when cold, they have so much friction to spare they worked better when cold then the DS2500's. At least summer 'cold'. I use the stock BMW pads in the winter, even though I'm not fond of their grabby behavior at slow speeds.
