I have read Hans' postings, and think he makes good points regarding
the PaGid blue vs. PaGid yellow compounds. However, early this summer I upgraded
to Girling G60s and PaGid yellow pads, on the recommendation of Keith Anderson.
This is primarily due to the fact that I set up the 83 urq to be used more
for the track car than for street.

My yellows do not squeak, not at all. In addition, there is almost no
brake dust problem.

I can't see much rotor wear, but I haven't had them on all that long either.
In terms of pad wear, however, I just can't believe it!!! In eight track
days at WG, LRP, and NHIS, as well as 6k street miles, they are as thick
as brand new (eyeballed, not measured). They stop so well, it is scary, but
they _are_ expensive. On the other hand, how expensive are Metamasters if you
go through a set each track day (I've seen it, at WG).

YMMV
