hey guys! just writting up a review about the Winmax 0-500deg pads i'd purchased!

well i got them and were installed on sunday (yesterday) and since then i'd drove around town abit and home from my relatives place which is about 300kms by h'way... and they made a huge difference to stopping! from 100km/h you can stop sooo quick. i feel alot more safe that i could stop quicker to avoid an accident now!

plus driving around streets they're not insanely grippy that you lock up all the time, they just work fine for street! plus i couldn't help myself to go open it up somewhere to give them a burl and they helped slowing down for cornering great!! don't make any noise at all and being 0-500 deg i know it would take a fair bit for them to start fading. i hadn't tried like endless or bendix, but for a bit extra i reckon these would work a treat! just need some slotted rotors and should be great for racing on track now.

they look pretty cool too being a bright orange/red through the rims!

so thats my opinion on the winmax pads i got! i recommend them for those who want to try abit of track work but still drive on street! plus thanx trav (egSi) at undergroundimports for tracking these pads for me too! i know how much time he put into finding these ones for me!

cheers guys! safe drivin!

yeh these pads work great on the track!!! no fade at all!!! and i gave them quite the workout... break dust is as good as oem imo. they do look fantastic with the red shining through the calipers:)

best thing about these pads are when you need them and jump on the breaks boy oh boy do they work. they do not eat your rotors. not extremely bity so perfect for street use. they also dont need to be warmed up.

just a quick question... i was told they need to be run in tho or you can make grooves in them or something. can someone pls confirm this.
