I figure it's all about preference and comfort. I got an alignment at a local shop that had dozens of racing trophies, they told me KW's were crap - yeah, for the track maybe (my thought), they said they swore by Moton ($5200 msrp). I think expecting KW Streetcomforts to be good on the track is a little silly. Same as someone here who complained that his buddy used Hawk HPS pads on the track and they started to fade, which made me laugh since HPS stands for High Performance STREET, they are not track pads - Hawk makes a track pad for racing use.

I probably would have gotten ksports if it weren't for the good price I got these used. Secondly they're made in Germany its a plus. Third for us Cali people their (KW) distribution center is in Fresno so it makes it easy. I know what I have listed aren't tech specs but it factors in to the purchase etc.. If your price point isn't KW high and you cant get used ones then go Ksports or equivalent

Is this for the front or rear? jg525i, did you have this issue?
