Well have some miles on these now and one track day in the rain, so did not heat them up that much. I really like them. Have good bite in the cold. Gets better as they heat up some. Noise is very minimal. were a bit noisy on the ride home from the track, but has been quiet since. They do dust quite a bit, but i can deal with that. Rotor wear is minimal. I think these are awesome for what I use them for.
They are definitely getting better as the go though some heat cycling. Very happy with them now.
I bedded them in good, and there is not a big change in bite. They definitely work well when they have some heat in them. Happy with them. No noise as of yet.
I like these pads, but they have less bite than the HP+ pads. Those would really grab. These make no noise as of yet. Just the grab feels similar to a stock pad???? I like them and am happy so far.
Very quiet, very good bite and feel. Probably the best brake pad I've used.
cross off the 2500's i love mine but if don't clean my wheels once a week it looks like i haven't touched em in 6 months.
Currently running Ferodo pads which I prefer to the Mintex Redbox pads.
What I did notice is that the brakes performed better when doing repeated stops which is related to their heat dissispation.
The most economical upgrade for street use is just beefy pads. Try Ferodo DS2500 on the front axle with your OEM 11.3" rotors combined with Hawk HPS on the rears.
I'm running the same setup as you (Ferodo DS2500/Hawk HPS with ATE Super Blue) and also notice some mild fade after 6-8 laps. I also get a mushy pedal which persists after the brakes completely cool, meaning I'm probably getting some fluid boiling and need to bleed them out.
