No they are a ferro-carbon blend like Hawk, but with more metal content. On the contrary to what you may think, we have not been around for months doing stuff, but years (since 2001) doing high performance aftermarket parts and manufacturing. We have established ourselves in several communites as a vital life-line for performance power and knowledge. I can assure you that our 4-5 appearences in Corvette Fever, Modified Mag, Honda Tuning and soon TPR Mag prove we are just nobodies who like to rip off the consumers and know nothing about performance automotive.

I am sorry if I came accross as blunt, jaded or rude, but we have been around this block a ton of times in new communities and it gets old quickly. So excuse my tone, as I am not normally like this.

Just because you can get to a MPH faster does not mean that you should not address the 100-0 or 60-0 problem that tends to arise when power is added. EVERYONE who has EVER turbo'd, S/C'd or added a ton of power to a car knows that brakes DEFINITELY need to be addressed shortly after. You tend to put more strain on the vehicle braking and suspension for sure (we call it the lead foot syndrome ;) ). You can not dispute that, which is where these pads come in to the playing field. If you do not feel that these are something you should persue, then please do not. I encourage you to explore all of your options and I can assure you that these for a hard DD car: N/A, turbo or S/C will be more than adequate.

These pads have taken a beating on a few 600whp+ C5s and C6s we have put them on and we are receiving write up from Corvette Fever for the stellar results. The same compound is on every app we encompass, which is not much for the time, but the following: C5, C6, tC, xA/xB, Civic, Yaris, IS300 and Cobalt SS/IRL.

Furthermore, I think that us being asked to participate in a full road race tC with Don Gartner and several other names shows some further credibility:
