Keep comforting yourself.
AK has regular ceramic compound. Besides standard issues, weak initial bite and horrible modulation, they require more heat to provide whatever performance they can deliver, which is contrary to what street pad should be. Street pads are all about cold performance. There is a reason why pads like AK are choice for appliance vehicles like minivan's etc. Reason is that there is expectation of more brake utilization when vehicle go downhill, etc. For average soccer mom they are probably best choice.
But, there is trade off in performance.
Also, I drove hill climb races in Yugo 55. What boosters and power steerings?
