I went on a 'spirited contry drive' 
with some other enthusiasts recently and a couple of them had to drop back due to faded brakes....I had to keep lifting to keep out of the back of the modded S2000 who had point....
I have Bobcats on front and Ultimates in back and I won't be buying the Ultimates again unless I'm broke and NAPA or PEP Boyz doesn't have anything else available....the Ultimates dust like MAD and there are better pads available.

I just put mine on today, pads and slotted rotors. After bedding them in and letting it cool I went on a simple little drive around towm....WOW. simply WOW. The difference if stopping power and feel is incredible vs. stock. Except I keep hearing a metalic scraping noise coming from the right front wheel... I'll just turn u pthe sterio and the noise will go away...
