Thanks for your opinions!!

I am currently running the R4-S pads on my Mini Cooper-S at the track. I do not have any issues on the street with them. I did do the bedding in process they suggested. I can see if you don't bed them in you would get the poor braking when cold (like the instructions warned of) They are not recommended for "full track use" what ever that means. I drive pretty hard for 20 minutes sessions chasing Corvettes and Vipers and felt they hang in much better than the stock pads I had been using. I have also noticed they are easier on the rotors. One really great by product is they do not leave black dust on the wheels!
If you try them on the Cobra let us know what you think.
