Thanks, but in general you've been happy with them, right? Any other pads on the same BBK?

Cold bite is very good.

Default Quite happy. A decent street/mild track mix with very low dusting. I also had Pagids on the same

BBK and the EBC's were better in performance and dusting (price too).

Just avoid the Green Stuff, they are terrible.

Default If you drive your car like you stole it

or do a lot of stopping from 140 as I do, then I will pass on the recommendation of BHP XPS. I have them sitting in my garage about to be installed. Ill let you know my opinions on them shortly

But Ive tried hawk hps and pagid black and they just seem to get too hot on this porky beast.

They have every property one dislikes...a lot of dust, poor longevity, poor bite, noisy.

Default I have GreenStuff on w/ stock brakes and OEM rotor right now and they do suck - much dustier than OE

for negligible gain in performance - maybe less high temp fade, but that is it. I have the RedStuff but they will not go on for a month or so.
