Am currently hating the proto-type set on my Odyssey. Test brake stuff for buddy
all the time and this set the worst he's ever designed
Supposed to be all-round with higher temp attributes
Yes, but the low end binders out-gas too much and have shuddering every time and
have to scrub off the deposits each day out on the freeway
Yes, has both high temp and low temp braking. Better at the high end..as usual
My TV (Suburban)...cryogenic slotted rotors and Praise Dyno pads has heat
checked the cryo rotors...ripped the surface apart when hot and braking HARD
cryorotor heatchecked slottedrotor
This is my Silverado with NAPA HD rotors and Praise Dyno pads. Notice the
even coating from out-gassing...some would call that 'glazed' but
since even thickness...perfect for me
silveradorotor outgas out-gas bedding
Have to re-bed them all every once in a while because have to brake VERY hard
to get them HOT and out-gassing...then to have to stop and bake on a high spot
{edit}...forgot to touch on the OP's link arthur...about his thinking
that slots scrap of glazing or some such off of the pads...if true...then
pads would NOT last long being scraped down with each passing
