Not bad pads for spirited driving but hard as a rock when cold. You have to be careful, they need a couple good warming stops before they bite. I've rolled past my girl before cause I forgot how little bite they have when cold.
And if you only put then on the front, be prepared for your rear pads to wear out quick. My rears with stock pads front and back, showed almost no wear after 40k+. Once I installed the KVR's in the front. They were gone within 10-15k miles.
