Hey Sorry Andrew, I haven't been bothered updating this thread. I'm becoming jaded with all the rubbish posted on this forum. The 'signal to noise' ratio is very low currently. I wasn't sure there were any car enthusiasts left...
I am pretty happy with these pads. They have done 30 laps of Wakefield park (before I binned it on some one elses grease) and about 70 laps of Oran Park South on a bloody hot day. The wear is pretty good (I haven't measured it recently) and fade on these tracks was very minimal. Tellingly I set my fastest lap time about lap 6/7 in the sessions at Wakefield, as opposed to lap 3 on the old set of pads.
I haven't used any big dollar pads. I used Lucas on the Rx-7 and they were good a street/track compromise. I believe the Intima SR 6300 are a cut above these again. I want to try the next level up in the Intima pads as I don't care about cold performance for the street, or how dusty my bling wheels get. They are still reasonably priced at $160($130 for the SR6300) from www.carbling.com. I got my SR from carbling and they were very easy to deal with, and keen to hear how they went, and interested in what I was doing and how they could help. I went and saw them down at Tuggerah- I much prefer to spend money where I can talk to a human being, not someone hiding behind a website.
