I'm friends with Eddie and when I needed new pads for my AP setup last year, literally stayed up late making me pads, brought them on his carry on luggage, and installed them in the shop the next morning. Now that's customer service!*
I run the XR2s all the way around with non-slick tires, AP 5000 up front and OEM rears on my E46. Even with the XR2s they have a lot of bite for street tires. Still easy to lock-up the fronts on my E46 if you don't threshold brake. Driven several E92s with the AP kit and Cobalt XR2s, and they're amazing on this platform as well.
