My pads state not to use on the road.....but tbh, i cant tell much performance difference under normal driving than pads that are supposedly for road use if you see what i mean.....

How would anyone ever know?
Not for road use is an a**e covering exercise by the pad makers in response to another bit of nanny state bureaucratic nonsense, probably from the EU.
Ignore it and use whatever pads are appropriate for your use.

one of the reasons the directive was brought in was to stop cheap cornflakes packets being passed off as brake material, and give a form of safety net to the consumer..................
this test gives a +/- percentage variance from the O.E. material spec for friction / life / etc....................the main problem with most performance orientated pads is that they are too "good" in terms of friction and fall outside of the regulation........
buy good quality pads and don't worry.
