interesting...any compromise on stopping (track) or noise?

Simple solution: sleep 6 seconds less each day. Walk faster to get places 6 seconds faster.

Cracks me up when people complain about stuff like this.

No..I dont track my car so cant comment to that (and note that the Carbotech Bobcats are a STREET pad..they do have several track pads). No noise at all and rotors look great, pedal feel and modulation is terrifc. I have these on my Turbo as well (with 10k + miles) and rotors look as new. There are several good articles online re: this pad material/compound and affect on rotor wear. Carbotech has a good explanation on their site as well. BTW, no affiliation with Carbotech (in fact I'm still waiting for them to produce a Bobcat pad to fit the wifes '11 Cayenne...that car has the WORST brake dust I've ever seen).

Bill I've heard that Hawk has a pad for the Cayenne that dramtically cuts the dust down. I read about it over on the Cayenne forum on Rennlist.
