Choosing the right brake pads depends very much on the performance needs of your DRIVING STYLE.
In order to help you make the right decision, we have graded our brake pads based on the results of known industry testing from Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), and Vehicle Equipment Safety Commission (VESC).
These criteria are:⚫ Friction Level: A measure of the
initial bite and performance of the brake pad at optimal temperature
⚫ Fade Resistance: A measure of how the brake pad maintains its peak friction level at high temperatures.
⚫ Pad Lifetime: A measure/ expectation of how long the pads will last
⚫ Dust: A measure of how much dust the pads are expected to emit.
⚫ Comfort (NVH): A measure of how little vibration, noise, and harshness the pads are expected to produce.
⚫ Rotor Lifetime: A measure of how long the rotors are expected to last with use of the pads.
