Default Quick! Vast Kevlar or Ceramic?!?!!?

Use:
Daily driven stage 3, stock FW, occasional track/drag use..

From what I have been told, ceramic is made for more dragging/racing, but what appeals to me is the lesser break in period. Wont last as long..

Kevlar lasts longer, drives smoother... should hold up for what I need...but will take 500 miles to break in. (Problem as I dont drive much during winter.. so this could be a month!)

Default 2nd. I hear feramic drives well. I'm not convinced that kevlar can hold the heat...

I had kevlar on my sedan and it was silky smooth but it seemed to loose grip in heavy around-town driving and/or on really hot days.

Default Is your RS4 PP giving you any trouble? When did you purchase it?...

I'm trying to figure out if there was a timeframe when certain bad RS4 PPs went out on the market.
