you can review their products at:

I went for the medium compound, XP8, which is supposed to be streetable. I will keep them on the 17th--my last track event of the year. So far they are fine on the street. No issues with cold temp grip. However, they are somewhat noisy right before you come to a stop, so I'll take them out for the winter. With the BMW CAA discount, they are about ~$350 for the 4 corners.

A small thing: the bonding agent overflowed into the pad sensor space, and it wasn't possible to insert/use the sensors. Inconsequential if you won't run them all the time, but a minor quality control issue nevertheless.
