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.)
