Are the KVR brake pads particularly hard on rotors in general?

I have a set of KVR carbon fiber pads for the G60 calipers that I
will eventually install with Ate Powerdiscs on my urquattro.  The
urq will see some track time, although will mostly be driven on the
street.  I don't want to chew up the Powerdiscs right away, though
(I do have a set of unknown G60 pads that came with the junkyard
calipers...could use those if necessary.)

Can anyone else describe their experience with KVR pads (both in
braking power and affect on rotors) on the street and/or the track?

Thanks,
Eric
