Ive got them in my Cossie as well and also in my Escort rst.....I rate them as for fast road use they give good progressive feel (feel a little wooden compared with standard pads with regards initial bite...but they are a very progressive pad) and ive never had brake fade on them along with the added bonus of being a very clean pad ie very little brake dust.

I fitted a set of greens all round to my 3 door and wiped them out in 2 days the backs were metal to metal and send me backwards into an island. Was giving in absolute death mind!! (up Hamshall between the two islands, anyone from B'ham should know where I mean)
Put some reds on it and not much better either! run it on EBC yellows now!
Really must get a Big Brake conversion 450 BHP on standard calipers and disc's is not a good idea.

2 days - your lucky, my mate tried them on a rallycar (Sumbeam) and killed them down to the metal in 24 miles.

We all still shiver when we see them fitted to cars to be honest.
