No noticeable scoring. But there is noticeably more dust shed than the stock pad (and I have predominantly black wheels)As a fast street pad they are extremely good....I will be testing them at Wakefield soon and will report on suitability track use (last track day was on stock pads & rotors. Next business day I upgraded the brakes. Enough said.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can go the DS2500's if you want an even better compound.Benny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
