That steering wheels is tight!!
I thought the same thing. The only aftermarket wheel I would even consider- other ones I've seen are offensively bad IMHO.

Props for breaking the mold in a sea of RAYS [pun intended] (myself included) although not my cup of tea.
Also agree with this take. I appreciate and respect the Work look, they definitely make a statement. But the whole point about making a statement is that you're going against the grain. I like diversity though, so

The OEM pads might have had a little more initial bite but these still feel great and have held up so far on my touge runs. No squeaking or squealing on initial pedal or when I come to stop after getting them hot either, which I've had in the past with other pads. I haven't had performance issues with the OEM pads or Paragon P2's either in my driving but I havent tracked my car so I'm not sure I would really find the limit of these on the street despite my spirited driving being pretty decent.

Endless rates these up to 550C and given they have hardly dusted at all I think these might be the perfect street/spirited driving pad. Now that the weather is getting awesome I'll keep pushing em and report back if I notice any performance degradation.
Got a link for them? I'm about to order pads front and rear, I was looking at Akebono's but I would like to compare and after hearing what you thought of them, I am leaning towards these.

I ordered them January 18th and received them April 7th so that is definitely worth mentioning. They said I would get them in 1.5 months, but they got delayed or something. My brother ordered the same pads for his GR Corolla and they came in like a month. These pads have been incredible so far so but I just daily and do spirited backroad driving. Much better experience than the Paragon P2 and stock pads since the dust is practically non-existent in comparison and braking still feels great.

Thank you.
I am not sure about the lead time, I kind of need these in the next few weeks.
Will these work with DE5, I assume so, but wanted to be sure.

They seem expensive, not so much that I wouldn't order them, but I wonder why, Brembo's, Bendix and Akebono's run around $55 each end, Front and rear, 125$ or so for all 4.
I wonder if they perform well enough to warrant the extra $100.

I'm looking for a longer lasting, less dusty pad and if they are $200 so be it, if they perform it is worth the money IMO
Im going to contact them see what they say for delivery times right now

FL5 and DE5 pads are the same as with most mechanical parts of the car. I think these pads are easily worth the money given my experience with them so far as well as on my brothers car. If you need them quickly then they're probably not the option because its going to be 1-2 months depending on how fast they make and ship them.

Really loving the bronze wheels on white/black. APR kit is gorgeous as well!

Are those VS5RS the 10.5” width? What’s the tire size?

Posted my thoughts on the Invidia Q300 in the install thread, but overall very happy with it.

Also been waiting on this custom shift knob from Lathewerks, finally got it and installed. There really isn't any comparison with anything else on the market. Well worth the cost and the wait.
