Removed the ST43 pads over the weekend, and I should receive the Cobalt Friction pads tomorrow. I will not install them before I can find a track day first, though.
I will be using Cobalt Friction's XR1 / XR2 combo. The pricing was almost identical to ST43s. I will give my ST43s to my brother (who also has a 1LE) since they were pretty good at the track, they just scream (besides the expected squeaks) too much at the street.
