That's right.
Blues are better for the street. DS2500s are better for the track. Blues are nice for their initial bite. DS2500s are nice for their consisentency across a large temp range.

nope. but Pagid Blacks are $69 and the Blues are $179. do the math, you can get 2 sets of the blacks
and a good case of beer for the price of the Blues.
If I'm going to spend $179-200+ range for pads, they better be for the track.

not sure I totally agree with you, but what have ya...
for the price, I think the blues are def overkill for the street... performance-wise, I think they're pretty much on par.

in cold temps blues take longer before shorter stopping distance..
iirc backing out with the blues in cold morning and almost no braking power for the fist few seconds.. scared the $^%&@# out of me until i knew it for next time.,..

deff over kill for street on blues and 2500 I save them for the track..
currently iirc i have some green stuff on the rear and axis ultimates on the front for just street use no problems.. but i need to flush my fluid again as the pedal is getting softer.. been enjoying my 12v intake mods alittle too much..
