No wonder! ...... you have less surface area then std disks. That fancy design might induce more air, but do damn all else!
Im running AP/Lockheed std disks on std pads ............ cheap to replace and work better than others i have tried..... (Greenstuff and EBC disks) ....... those fancy holes and channels machined into the disk reduce surface area and block up .... going by my experience.
