This was more to the fluid, but the bite was much better and linear, no sponginess. The pad itself will dust more, obviously, but also did decently shorten the necessary braking distance on the track. I don't know the exact recommended braking zone length for turn 1 at the Ridge where we need to slow from 130 to 100 to go into turn 2, but the MX72s + the fluid can get me down to about 90 mph in that length.
I had a somewhat different experience with the MX72s. Not a lot of initial bite but they did shorten braking distance by a decent amount. Although they tended to get spongy after 2 or 3 hotlaps (using RBF700 fluid). That being said for autocross they were awesome cause you could just tap amd lightly apply pressure to rotate without a ton of bite. Street was fine too.
100% fine for me on the street as well. Maybe it's the fluid? I didn't have any issues since I was using Endless fluid as well, as opposed to Motul. I'm attributing the initial bite feel to the fluid rather than the pad since I got the wrong size rear pads and had to wait for replacements, so I was running fluid + stock pads for about a week. No track experience on that setup, so I can't say about the hot lap experience.
