I've been using Pagid blacks on the street + track. I totally agree with the statement above re squeak... if you slowly glide to a stop at a light they will squeak ... but not very bad. Brake hard, and they don't make any noise. Dust is much better than stock but there's still some. Cold or hot, the grip is great.

I stopped using the R4S porterfields cause when they were cold I wasn't getting much grip.

I noticed my Pagid Blacks came with a warning that they were not DOT approved / not for the street. Is that because of the noise? Or are they made of poison or something? Just wonderin.
