I only do street driving and decided to give Pagid yellows a shot... they go on next week... I can tolerate a little noise from them for better performance since I already have a loud exhaust (Fabspeed Maxflo) and the vibrating LWFW mod.

I hate the brake dust on the OEM pads...I am constantly cleaning my wheels. Performance on them is good though.

You're putting Pagid yellows on your street car? LOL
You may think thats a good idea right now, but i got them on my car and you get some CRAZY looks when you pull to a stop at a light. People look at you like your car is broken, or they are surprised a porsche pulled up because it sounds like a garbage truck...

I have had my yellows on the car since last track outing in anticipation of next one that just got rained off, they screech like Bon Scott.

I track and leave the Pagids on year round. I have learned to modulate the brake pedal to eliminate 97% of the squeal.

What's wrong with a Porsche Garbage Truck Turbo?

Hey, I told Dan @ Vivid my situation and concerns and tolerance for loudness (if I can barely hear it over it my exhaust and LWFW I will be okay with it). Hell, if I hate it I guess stock pads can go back on and save these for that 1 track day every decade.

I seem to have a higher tolerance for loud cars than most. Hey, I have been muscle car and GM guy for most of my life. They are louder than these Euro cars.
