The one you prefer, will buy and use again. Sounds like you found a better compound vs what came with the kit.

Washed it - first time in just over a year... "whether it needs it or not," as the saying goes.

When my Alcons were cold the braking performance was better than stock, just not a massive difference. Now when they are warmed up, Holy Crap they stop amazingly.
How much braking performance was lost with these pads? Both cold and warm?

Honestly they feel the same to me. Maybe I’m crazy but now with some miles in them I honestly can’t tell a difference.

Sure I understand that, (I did say average). I see brakes last 60-70k regularly with 100k+ on a highway queen.

Personally those type of pads are to hard and eat up the rotor at about 1/5th the rate of the pads.

I was mostly saying I have worked with Brembos and they have a flaw or two also.
