I am gonna have to say..... yes. They are pretty much the same compound and the only real difference is that you have to keep some heat into them or they will remain in an abrasive mode until you do. Think brake lathe.
The reason I know this ?? During the development I ran them on the street and took..... ahhh..... somewhere like 0.090" off of each surface (0.180" total) in less than 30 days. They never got hot enough to go into an adhearent mode.... but man did they ever stop !!!
If in doubt, call Andy or (most likely) Tim 949-548-4470. I cannot say for sure, but I am almost positive that you can with the "R4 - R4S" series compound.
Dust and the R4-S isnt too bad considering. The R4 compound however, will embed anything shiny. I killed a set of trim rings from that 30 day stint alone. I dont really know if it was more of carbon deposites or if it was the actual rotor material that embedded. Just remember to rinse them often and the best cleaner I have found for this is Eagle One's "etching mag wheel cleaner".
Havent really had any seat time with Bobcats.... the Panther+ however, were'nt all that bad as I remember. I think the limiting factor there was caliper availablity when I was doing a lot of brake testing.
