Hearing differing opinions on these pads' capacity to handle light track duty. If you've used these pads at HPDE or other track time, please post your experiences with them. Please also post if stock brakes, S4 upgrade, or BBK.

I would step up to the next higher level.
The pads worked good on the track while new. But when they got down to less than half, I cooked them. No bite anymore. I had to put my OEM pads back in to get my brakes back.
But I do brake pretty hard. I go in deep and drop the anchor.
BTW, This is on my S4, stock.

Matt, you can clip the wear sensor wire and run it end to end or...
buy the ECS Brake Wear Sensor Loop-Square.
I wanted to retain the sensor, but there just don't seem to be enough good pad options that allow for it.<ul><li><a href="http://www.ecstuning.com/stage/edpd/pagebuild_v2.cgi/?html=learnmore.html&productID=8014">ECS</a></li></ul>
