Message	Seemed OK at the time for street driving, but I literally put them on about a week before the car was sold. BUT...I ran them on the Miata for awhile (too long). Were OK at first, but after I heated them up really good on some northern NJ backroads, they went to shit. Started dusting like a bastard and squealed to no end. Then I did a track day on them (knowing they were already beat) and everything got worse. The track day was bone stock, so it's not like I was trying to slow the car down from over 100mph or anything significant. And avoid Brembo-branded pads. My wheels are completely covered in dust within ~20 miles. Not too noisy, they grab well, but damn with the dust. I forget what version I have, but they are "street" pads.
