The quick pad changes are really nice. Mine are still like new despite the what "other" thread referenced states. That's acid rain, or aggressive wheel cleaner usage if I've ever seen it. Despite what's actually explained.
Any car I've had with red brembos had dark red/purple brembos after a few track days and getting really hot. I vowed to never buy a powder coated bbk again unless they were black. Then the only thing you would notice would be lettering turning yellow...just my .02

Thanks for your input. I decided to go with the 380's up front mainly to better deal with the heat. The plus side, I am told is that the front pads will last longer. I was concerned about the increased upsprung weight (2 lbs) per side, but most said it would not be noticed.
