So far I've ran 3 days on the Track Day pads on my 1LE. They're roughly equivalent to a Carbotech XP10 in terms of pedal feel and mu. That said, their mu starts off high when cold and medium temps, and gradually lowers as they get close to being hot. It is however no problem to overwhelm the ABS calibration and go into ice mode, so a delicate foot is required to get the maximum pace. I'd put their modulation as "good"; not as amazing as Carbotech but much better than a Wilwood B or PFC 01.

The pad wear I'd say is "good"; less wear than a Carbotech but more than a metallic pad like a Raybestos. Given the heat checking on my rotors, the pads have excellent temperature resiliency, on top of highlighting the 1LE needs better rotor cooling ducting.

For the price, they're a no brainer. If you're consistently in the Advanced HPDE group and/or setting NASA class records, then you'll want more than these pads, and you're willing to pay for it accordingly.

Value = Excellent
Total Mu = Very good
Mu curve = Fair
Wear = Good
Modulation = Very Good
Temperature resilience = Excellent



P.S. I also run the Z26 on the street and find them a perfectly suitable street pad, with very low dust, quiet, and appropriate street mu and mu curve.
