I don't have a trailer). The Panther Plus don't sem to like being used gently. I'm still trying to find a source for Ferodo DS2500 for the stock 2G rears (want to try them both front and rear). Heard good things about those pads, along with their DS3000 for R-compounds.

Max, I had a piston ring let go last year. After tearing down the block and getting screwed over by my engine rebuilder, I have to start from scratch. I decided to do the bigger house mod, so the car will have to wait until the money tree blooms again (or I sell my old house.. two mortagages is painfull).

I love the Bobcats on the street. They are quite and they do not dust very much at all... but admittadly I put very few street miles on them. I've been running Porterfield R4 pads in the rear mainly because they wear like iron, once I go through the rear pads I have I will look for something much more agressive.

I absolutly hate the street pads that came with Jessica's StopTech's. They are squeal free but dust like no other pad I have seen... as soon as they are gone it will be Bobcats replacements.

Storm Strike: when you upgraded to 2nd gen rears did you loose the parking brake or anything tricky?
