Quite a few of us track guys out in California use them. I know Tom Paule uses them in his SE-R Cup race car. It's a very aggressive street/track pad that's a definite upgrade over the Axxis Metal Masters; a harder compound, yet very rotor friendly. I also use them in my soon-to-be SE-R Cup NX2000. I've logged about 4 track weekends in them without a hint of brake fade, and the best part is not worrying about switching pads before and after events.

Thanks for the feedback Drew. I ordered 2 sets of them today. One for me and one for FM blairellis. Price wise you can't beat that, they were 45 bucks a set.

do they create a lot of dust in normal (street) use?

They do seem to dust a bit, but I don't care since they are on a race car. I love these pads, although I'm notoriously easy on brakes. Only pads I've gotten to fade (other than stockers) are a set of Porterfield RS4s. The RS4s wouldn't totally fade, but I'd get a longer pedal on the same turn at Buttonwillow, but they would recover for the rest of the track. I bled the fluid between sessions and got the same thing each time out on the track.

That and the price of the Ultimates can't be beat.
