Having tested OEM, Powerstop Track Day vs these DFC AP pads on a track, I can attest that they work as well or better than the others. Minimal fade (fade being typical of poor trail-braking technique), little rotor wear, and consistent braking distance all make this a very good performance brake pad.
Are they true "racing" pads? No, but how good of a driver must you be to really notice the difference? Face it: Most of us aren't good enough track drivers to justify the expense of $200+ racing pads.
FYI: I have 6 sets of these sitting on my shelf (since they last about one track weekend). And I wouldn't stock these if I hadn't found them to be excellent pads.
