On track, the initial bite took me by surprise and I had to adjust my pedal application to be more gentle at first. They feel way more consistent than the G-LOC R16s. They gave me confidence to break later with more force. Took 2.5 seconds off my PB 
I did smell "burned metal" coming into turn 5 at Mosport a couple times. Not sure if that's normal from heavy breaking in general or if there is still too much heat generated? |
Congrats on your new PB! Nice!!! Now here's the rub: resisit a temptation to give credit to the pads (seriously, this would be completely counter productive at Mosport). Heat causes brakes to stink. Whether it is excessive, or not, is another question, which you will have an answer to soon enough. Yep they can be very noisy as a DD pad, especially when it is cooler outside. Also, they are designed to start biting at much higher temps, so be careful when it gets cooler outside with cold brakes, as stopping power will be vastly reduced.
Happy motoring and have bags of fun! Cheers!
