[Miata] Replacing original brakes on a '90 > Ultimates

[MX5 Photographer]

I've been really happy with these pads and I've run them on the
following cars with excellent results.

1990 MX5
1990 911 C2
1992 500E
1995 911 C2

All but the 500E have been autox.  They do dust up quite a bit but I
don't really care, not that big of a deal to me.   The have great
initial bite and I've yet to overstress/fade them and I do a fair amount
of braking in autox (we have a course where most everyone hits at least
3rd gear..  <eg>

I've always ordered mine for a company down in Portland, OR and have not
have any problem getting them.
