just wondering if anyone has tried these in the past?
If so how did you find them? they're rated to 650 deg C, but i'm wondering how they are from cold/low frequency braking. basically if they're suitable for everyday driving.
considering these, otherwise i'll probably look towards some endless SSS pads.
cheers

What are the temperature and friction ratings? You need both the max and minimum values to estimate their performance.

i know but i dont have the minimum op temp rating, thats why i'm asking for anyone with actual experience with them.
sometimes i find the friction/temp ratings often dont reflect the real world performance of a pad either

It doesn't reflect real world performance, but you can estimate it. I can estimate the material of the pad from the numbers too. If you can find it, post it up so I can make an educated guess. Then hopefully those who have used the pad can chime in with their experiences.

hmmm well so far i can only find the max temp limit - 650 deg.
i'm gonna keep looking but they're discontinued so a pain to find.
i have a feeling the minimum op temp may be a bit higher than desired for street as few pads with a temp rating that high have a low temp rating which gives good cold braking.
