race pads require heat to work effectively. The ferrous materials in racing brake pads require higher temperatures or they become very abrasive to the rotor surface. This is why you don't want to use track pads on the street. But once some heat has built up from several hard stops they are phenomenal. If your not heating the pads sufficiently, you need to rebed them often.

It's just not practical for most drivers to run race pads, unless they can get the brakes hot, real hot often. Otherwise it is the worst of both worlds, glazed expensive pads and rotors.

Do you what the funniest thing is ??? Lest summer I found the Pagids so user friendly that I left them on long after track season. I procrastinated so much that I kept them on all winter (Canadian) !!!! Go figure...

Global Warming... Or maybe you live on top of a mountain and ride the brakes down. As long as your happy with them, no worries.
