The verdict

Best for: Fast street cars whose owners hate cleaning wheels.

The trade-off: Needs a proper bed-in and a warm-up; first cold stop of the day is soft.

Reading the numbers

Standout traits: quietness (8/10), low dust (9/10), rotor friendliness (8/10).

No outright weak axis for its intended duty.

Six pads to compare this with

Three share its ceramic compound and three are other street performance pads. Inside each group the pad whose heat ceiling sits closest to this one's 500°C comes first.
