CL Racing Pads...You want these.

Everything John says here is ABSOLUTELY true.

I run RC6E pads on all four corners and can tell you, the stock sport brakes paired with good rotors and the RC6 pads will rip your face off.

They have incredible bite and cold stopping power at every ambient temperature I have tested them at (From the 40's to over 100, so far). Once they're heated up, they're even more awesome, which is hard for me to believe, every time I get them nice and hot.

They are, for all intents and purposes, incompressible. Pedal feel is amazing. With two days of high speed tracking, multiple trips to the drag strip, a couple autocrosses and at least 5k street miles on my set, I have over half the meat still on them and the rotors look almost brand new. So if you can tolerate the noise, do it. You won't regret it.

The CL Racing pads are an amazing solution. The CL RC 5+ are perfect for the street. Amazing bite, low rotor wear, low noise, and moderate dust... these are the perfect daily driven pad.

The CL racing RC 6 and a great solution for the guys who want a pad that makes your sport brakes feel like 6 piston calipers. They are noisy, but the bite is crazy. They have low rotor wear and moderate dust, but I am confident you guys will trade the occasional squeal for the nasty amount of initial bite. They are near impossible to fade as well.

With either kit you will find they require little to no break in and your rotors will last as long or longer than stock. I thought I would start this thread to get a discussion/review going and see what you guys think about them.

We can get them for anyone interested or if you are in the area I can take you for a ride in the shop car to see them first hand.
