Thanks for pointing that out, I goofed.
Yes, after having the "T"'s that came with the kit fade at the track I tried the "E"'s. They squealed badly on the street and as Carroll says, they make alot of dust. the dust wouldn't be a problem but the noise was unbearable. The "Q"'s seem to be a practical street pad. I plan on putting the noisy "E"'s in for the track but that's just because I have them, there are several Wilwwod race grades too. I hoped the E's would be a dual use pad. There really is no dual use pad anywhere, the best way is to change pads for the track, of course it's even better to have matched rotors for each pad set and change those as well. It's a viscous cycle!
BTW, here's some brake links:
