I've used G-Loc and currently have a set of Hawk DTC70/60's. Sure, initial bite is much better but race pads destroyed my calipers. Caliper temps were nearly 200 degrees hotter with race pads. Melted all the piston seals and discolored the calipers. Stock pads don't get nearly that hot, so my calipers are holding strong.

I'm going to try to keep the stock pads in as long as I can, but I have no hesitation going back to race pads if need be. If I can say this humbly, I'm no slouch behind the wheel either. So these pads can't be that bad...

Agreed.
