Teddy,
I'm with you on the Motul 600, it survived Summit
Point last year with me in the Evo, albeit on the
minitrack.  I wasn't too hard on it, but did go
through a set of stock pads, FWIW.

Another FWIW, the stock Evo Brembo pads are a hell of
a compound, didn't chunk or fade them once...but then
again, I'm a novice with too much car and not enough
seat time, so go figure.
