PS - SoundQ SVT puts these brakes through an entire weekend at SVTOA On Track and they were still in perfect condition, even thought they wore a little.

So I'll reiterate that you are doing something with your installation of the brakes, clips, wheel or bedding that's screwing them up.

I installed SoundQSVT's Stazi brake kit and monitored the brakes over the course of the weekend (Autobahn - Joliet). Stazi's brakes held up quite well I thought, and Bob said they performed well for him. There was about half the original thickness left (approximately) which was pretty good for 7 or 8 on-track sessions.

Well I received them 4 days ago. They are the Tiranium-Ceramic version (top-of-the-line Bendix). However, they will remain in the box till I can get my car back on it's feet again. I am sick and the rains in Florida don't let up . Will post performance observations when I get them hooked up .

I think I'm going to switch to Bendix after these Performance Friction pads are done. The PF pads only seem to work when when you are really pushing it and the initial bite isn't very good.

If there is one thing I like about these Focus wheels it's that the wheels are the color of brake dust. You can barely telll the difference between clean and dirty.

I do hope you are kidding!!!. BTW, I've got Stazi's brakes coming too, and frankly, I'm lookin forward to using them.
