Yeah, but I won't buy based on just one review

And those pads are damn expensive...I will pay $$ if its worth it but if I can get something nearly as good for 1/2 the price I'd rather do that...since pads won't last too long anyway. I try not to go all out on disposable items.

Do you want pads for street use? Or occasional track/auto-x? I have KVR and they are pretty damn good. I have had 2 track events on them and they still have about 50% left. My stock pads were gone after one event! They do not need any warming up to perform well.

I did end up warping my stock rotors though, no big deal, my fault for not properly cooling them after each session.

My friends have used Hawk's and they literally ate through the stock rotors...about 1/2 inches! They are very good pads ONLY for track use. They need to be warmed up to perform good.

I Have EBC Greenstuff upfront with Brembo Rotors and They felt a little better, but nothing like Holy Cow Batman.

Also have KVR in the Rear with Brembo Rotors and those actually seem to have more of an effect than the EBC.

Just my 2 cents

KVR with Brembos for the front/rear. They work well and my car is just for street right now.
