OK, I have about 300 track miles on them from Sear's Point, Thunderhill, and a couple thousand on the street.

They are still about a mm away from the minimum thickness. They have taken a beating and held up well.

Rotor wear has been minimal, < 0.2mm Front, <.05mm Rear.

They are pretty good on the street, and would probably be great for auto cross. The cold bite is very strong. Almost to strong for the street, especially in low friction times. Probably not quite the hot bite as the R4s but extremly consistant at the track with no fade with good fluid. But then again, I am comparing The R4s from the WRX and Stoptechs so I wasn't as fast into the corners and brakes were better. Not sure if Matt or Mike has tried them both.

By far the yellows are a great deal for really good pads for the STI. Bang for your buck... A+++++

See Thread for updated best deal prices

Oh, and my El Cheapo $300 for the full Front and Rear Rotor set are holding up well. That wear is on those disks.
