I wonder if this dude actually drives the car hard or uses his mouth on men?

Another thing I like about them is there is essentially no bedding required Slap them on and your ready to go, they perform the same consistent way after a couple applications weather you slap them on new rotors or used rotors that have pad transfer form other types of pads or not. Thermal cycling of them makes no difference just need to wear them enough to get the surfaces in contact good.
Many of the other pads I have tried like Carbotech require perfect bed in procedures for them to work well. And rely on super even transfer of pad material to the rotor to not get a bit of chatter and uneven bite.

If you were a real man you would step up to CL pads from Carbon Lorraine.
Before you get your panties in their typical wad-Yes they are French and yes they are expensive. However they resist heat better than almost any other pads, wear much slower(2-3x slower or more) and are very kind to rotors.
They have pads for the dynalite caliper and the miata rears.
They are going on my car-once it is finished.

I have been running Cobalt Friction XR2's simply the best feeling longest lasting track pad I have tried yet.

There website hasn’t been updated in a while but you can call them.
Also none of them are really sutable for street use. they dont seem to be agressive on rotors when hot but they sure are when cold. The thing is you don't need to bed them just swap them in and out at the track on your street driven track car they dont seem to care what pad compound transfer layer was on your rotors.

I've heard soooo many good things about Cobalts from top knotch pro racers. The only problem is the price... I am going to try DTC 60 f/r and see how I like them. If no good, then I will finally go with the 'balts.

Did your new DTC-60s come in yet?
I have a track day coming up and I'm still on the stock brake setup including rotors. I've run Axxis ultimates thus far but I need more brake for this power level for sure.
Do you know if you like the DTC-60s yet or should I look into Cobalts?
Looks like a set of front and rear cobalts would set me back $150 per set so $300 to fit the car excluding rotors and fluid. I would like to run something cheaper right now considering the speeds I'll be seeing at this small track.

I bought them from Savington. If the 60's don't work, we get to move up to 70's...which I seriously doubt we'll need considering out cars weigh under 2500lb.
