i think they are really really good pads, however you can get cheaper locally made stuff that is better match to the rotors and calipers....

these pads in teh front are two powerful for the brake setup and the rotors cant handle it.... 10 laps of Eastern creek in sydney (lots of 200+km/h braking) on a 40 degree day, saw my rotors almost glowing and are alittle warped after it... but thats the price u pay for fun.... they are also very very very noises.... when ur breaking them in (takes like a month for the noise to shut up) the noises is fucken crazy, i was engine breaking the whole time...

however the d1 spec pads on the rear are so so good and there pretty cheap as well, there alittle loud but damn they make the handbreak work very well on a disc brake setup

yeah next time ill be getting locally made pads and rotors, jsut cheap and they do the same shit really

The problems you experienced are probably due to not bedding the brakes in conform instructions. With agressive pads you really only get one chance to do this, do it well and you shouldn't have any problems. Red glowing discs are no problem at all. Discs will start cracking when they can't stand the heat, warping is not warping of the discs but overheating of the pad causing it to leave deposits on the disc surface. Ideally for track work, use a pad with an even higher temperature range.
