Hmmm, I haven't noticed that with my bobcats. I'm not sure it would matter for me....
Seems like if the rotors dont wear out fast, the pads wear out faster. If the pads don't wear out fast, then it's the rotors that wear out fast. And for my car, pads cost about the same as rotors, so it doens't matter which one wears out faster.

No.. they are fairly rotor friendly
and much more aggressive than Hawk HPS. Awesome street / autoX pad.
The pads Andrew speaks of are actually at my house. Co-worker decided to take them off and they are almost brand new. Im sure he'd sell them cheap.

Sometimes they're louder than my track pads (XP16s)
Dust isn't any more than normal. I've had the noise on the M3 and on the truck. I accept it as a byproduct of having better brakes.
Personally, I still prefer the Pagid Blacks (street blacks, not track blacks) to Bobcats, but Wonger doesn't carry them.
