Update,
The Endless pads have been working great!
Hardly any warm up time needed, great stopping power both under
normal and agressive driving and my favorite LESS DUST!
I have thrown about 10K miles on since I have put them on, although I admittedly I haven't been "on track" in this last period (I know... I know... I'm trying to get help for that) so I haven't tested that but from my "playing" I feel confident they will hold up at big willow well enough.
Anything new these days?
Thanks,
Joe

The only problem I would have with the ceramics is the "warm up time" generally is longer than I would like but clearly they are great for the dust (or lack of) factor.
Thanks for the input!

To be honest they stop pretty well, not as good as my old ones, but I'm willing to take the trade off of not having to wash my rims every 5-7 days.

I'm with ya on the dust, that is a PIA....
I still get dust but probaby about less than half as much as before.
So I'll take the better stopping all around, specially at warm up, and a hell of a lot less dust from before!

Anyone used the endless SS-H yet? I love the SS-S and I intend to order one or the other today. So far the best price I found on the SS-H is 180 though and I didn't know if it was worth the price difference over the Nismo R's. Any input?
The Z is my daily and I'm in the northeast so I can't have anything too agressive but I do drive the car hard and I get into a handful of auto-x events each season.

Low dust, great stopping power, long life, affordable, low heat, what more could you ask for?
Hope that helps.

I have run the EBC Red and Yello on the street, both are nice..but the Yellow can nicely run on the street and the track,,,and are cheap relative to pure track pads...
Currently I run the EBC Red on the street with separate rotors, and then CarboTech XP10 and separate rotors for the track....Note the EBC Red is NOT recommended for the Track.
So for a dual-purpose pad...try the EBC yellow.
