You have to be careful with high performance pads they have to have a lot of heat in them to stop.

I tried them in one of my vehicles a long time ago and they worked bitch'n only when they were warmed up. The first and last time I use them, they scared the poop out of me, cruis'n down the freeway for about 15 miles and had to slam on the brakes, there was nothing there, because there was no heat in the pads for them to work correctly.

The next day they came out.

Bryan,
Let us know if you decide to try them. Unlike SOME people, I actually used your link and read that the ones for the Kat are the Kevlar kind that "don't" need heat. I would eventually like to upgrade the front brakes to at least a 13" rotor. THAT would definitely increase performance!

Since it explained "30%-50% braking improvement", and "no warm up necessary", it caught my eye. My friend put these on his bike, a ZX900R, and said they improved his braking. I was familiar with this company, but didn't know they had an application for cars.
