So, after some 51,000 miles I changed out my rotors, it took someone punch drunk to tell me he thought my rotors looked kinda worn out
(Thanks Brian). I got to see how well they worked this last Friday at Pacific raceways, a 2.25 long road course. My previous non OEM pads were Carbonne Lorraines (CLs), they were awesome for the street, once they had a chance to break in, but on the track they turned to solidified grease at speeds above 130 and under hard, aggressive braking.
So, here's my take on various pads, the stockers (08 non ABS), leave too much deposit on the rotors, creating a pulsing, warped feeling. Never again. CLs, great for the street, wet or dry, takes better then a thousand miles to seat well, very wooden feel when new, and NOT suitable if you like trip digit speeds. Galfer pads (HH), not as good in the wet stuff and I never had them on the track.
As it stands, I will stick with the EBCs, I have total confidence they will do what they claim. I hit the upper 140s indicated and did some aggressive braking for a chicane several times, absoluetly no fade, steady, consistant feedback the entire day. They are a winner in my book.
