The Last Set of AEM pads had horriable cold responce, not exactlay what I would want a set of street pads. I went from AEM to Axxis Ultimates, and the Ultiamtes stoped 100 times better cold and about 10 times better hot, they are a much much better pad than the AEMs. Dust is somehting your are going to have deal with, with most pads.
