My verdict is that these do not provide the fade resistance required for a full day at the track. I did a total of 6 20-minute sessions on the track (Thunderhill) with about 20-30 minutes in between each session. They held up well in the first 3 sessions but were fading after that. The 6th session was just brutal. They were fading so badly that I decided to pit early to let them rest. I am not a seasoned track driver. Hence, I think these will not take the abuse of a good driver. However, these provide excellent stopping power and are perfect for aggressive street driving.
On the street, these make no noise at all. The braking feels much more natural (if this makes sense at all) than the stock setup. It seems to be fairly gentle on the rotors as well, but only time will tell. All in all, I think it's definitely worth the money. The description is pretty accurate. It's great for the street and >>LIGHT<< track use.

Did you have a soft pedal? Perhaps you were boiling your brake fluid.
