Thought i'd update on how i got on with these. Well i have now done Spa 3 days and a brands indy and a brief session at lyden with the yellowstuff's installed. My first few laps at Spa scared the life out of me with virtually no pedal and no brakes ! after coming in and checking for leaks etc i came to the conclusion that i had not bedded them in correctly and the "brake in " material had'nt . A few more laps back out and the pads bedded in and low and behold decent brakes ! It took virtually the next three days to become used to the feel of the harder compound and the consiquent later braking that they can produce. In fact you have to be fairly brutal with them to get heat into them before they are at there best. They are to me at least an improvement on the o.e. pads with increased stopping power but they do lack a degree of initial bite and feel (which i guess is down to the harder compound) They still have plenty of meat left on them after all of the above so seem to be reasonble in the wear department.
To sum up bed them in carefully. Better stopping power, allows later braking . Less bite and feel(bit wooden)compared to standard pad but to be expected i think. So far wearing well . Overall positive i think.

] I've now done about 700 miles of fairly gentle road use (the trip to Le Mans) & the (very hard PF97) pads are almost gripping the discs accross their entire width now.
