I'm an old guy too who has spent a lot of time at race tracks and in shops building racing vehicles. Got a whole lotta t-shirts...

Just installed these pads along with OEM Brembo rotors at 64k, previous owner changed them I believe at 20k. Goal was no squealing/noise, less dust, and decent performance. F is a 30k/year daily, with few very spirited weekends thrown in. Also threw in OEM Brembo's from parts container on ebay($305 shipped with great coupon) and "upgraded" to DOT4 fluid with a full flush.
Only put about 150 miles on them so far, but zero noise, less dust, and though initial bite is less, they do the daily driver duty, will of course revert in 1k miles, which should be April lol. Not sure they'd stand up to any tracking at all, but light autox should be fine. Frustrating part was only few options seemed to be out there. $103 shipped for front and rears, about $170 for Stoptech Sports which have very inconsistent reviews on here(many say they dust and squeal, and just as many say they don't), $400 or so for Carbotechs which apparently have fitment issues or OEM's, or $600ish with a CL discount for the Project MU NS's. Worst case, may just upgrade the fronts later on but for now till it warms up, these will do fine.
