Pagids are great.  But a little hard to get for the 5K/100/200, and yes 
they are mentioned on the list.  Cool Carbons OTOH are Just as good, 
maybe better Cost less and are easy to get and much more easy on the rotors

As for the Slagmaster's, Yes I hate them BUT for just plain street 
driving (Never on a Racecourse!) there just fine.  Better than stock.  
The pad heatup is not really a problem, For the most part it takes a long 
time to cool them down but even after you have, they come up to temp 
within 1.5 sec's after pedal application. I think cold the cf is .29 hot 
.38.  stock is .32 cold and .35 hot. The Cool Carbons have a cf cold of 
anywhere between .42 and .48 (Depending on compound) and .48 and .56 Hot 
(60% better than stock biblical in racing terms)

Just my $1.50


Later!
