I'm thinking of getting these for my E0. What do you guys think of them. I have heard they have somewhat of a warmup time?
Any help

Too long a warmup for me. Dangerous in wet conditions on the frewway. No brakes for a couple seconds!!! I like the Mintex A/F pads I have now much better.

In talking with Joe an SP he said he likes them better than any other pad for street cars. I have a set waiting to be installed with new rotors.

-Lance I have to agree with Lance. I'm not sure who made my carbon fiber pads, but I experienced the exact same thing with mine. They were scary in wet weather. The two advantages I saw in them was less brake dust (although my Mintex street pads are about as good) and very long wear. My Mintex are as good or better in dry weather, and much better in wet.

I've got some KVR's with probably 80+% left on them.. anyone want them? Pay shipping only. Will work with regular contours and late model SVT's.

I've always advised against carbon fiber/ceramic pads for their lack of real life road ability.
Poor when not warmed up, worse in cold weather, deadly in the rain. Plus they glaze and can possible warp rotors due to their design (material) as well.
Lose, Lose situation...

They will not work on a 98 E0, no. They are the front pads. And I agree with DemonSVT, they are a lose/lose. However, if you disagree, they're yours...  -Lance
