Cobalt GTS pads

I've been running them on the street awhile now and for autocrossing... first HPDE will be later this month.

I really, really like these pads. Best of all, I got them dirt cheap. As good as the Hawk HP+ and Ferodo 2500's, IMHO, for a lot less money.

Yes, they dust... yes, they squeal... BUT, they stop like the dickens and don't fade. Not even in the Texas summer heat thus far!

I'm running OEM Frozen Rotors in the front, which also seem to be holding up extremely well.

I am highly impressed after the first autocross I ran with these pads in the Texas summer heat... it was nearly 100 degrees out and the brakes performed flawlessly all day long! 8 hard runs, 4 in the morning, 4 in the afternoon pretty much back-to-back. Mucho grabbing power, big WHOA factor, fade proof and VERY nice feel!
