Yes - or at least thats what I have got on my 3dr. For Road use I personally prefer 1144's over any other pad/compound

Yeah imo 1144's great for road use, but not too good for track use. Well they are good on track but they get too hot and crack the middle of the pad in 2 halfs

1155's if you using on track and swap back to 1144's once back on the road

I found 1155's to be fine on the road even from cold, i never had a problem with the cosworth setup on my RS turbo they worked spot on
