Does someone have experienced these pads for agressive street driving and occasional track ?

Are they ok fot the street ? ( will they eat the rotors when cold )
how much noisy are they ?
I don't care about dust.

Most people use the Panther plus for street / occasionnal track app. : Is it really better than the XP for the street ?

My current pads are Hawk HP+, I like them bu I'm looking for something more fade resistant.

thanks !

Depends on your definition of "OK".

The feedback we have recieved from those that do run them all the time on the street is your rotors will last ~10,000-15,000 miles. YMMV.

Varies from car to car. Seriously. Not trying to duck the question. Expect some noise, particlularly under low line pressure use.

Good. XPs are dusty.

Generally, we do not recommend Panther Plus, XP8, or XP9 as a daily driver brake pad due to dust and noise. They function just fine on the street, however. I haven't changed from XP9s since Summit Pt 2 weekends ago.
