Default I am glad you like them. Mine have delveloped a tad of low pressure/low speed

squeel with the BBK. I also have these on my wifes car with the OEM sized brakes and hers are perfectly quiet. I think it has to do with flex and surface area. Also once i clean them (blow the dust out) they are quiet for a while. i did overbake them a tad up in the mtns. They never faded, but you could smell 'em. It was almost like i was rebedding them.

They are a good all around street pad. They are NOT designed for any track use and will crumble under that heat. They are also sutable for auto-x use.

I wonder if the cleaning is a Carbotech thing: my XP8's quiet down for a bit after cleaning too.

Default I'll keep an eye out for noise, but so far they're been exceptionally quiet.

I did however bed them in twice.

i noticed it on the Axxis Ultimates too. It might just have to do with a common compound.
