I ran those and their Advanced Technology and they both dusted black and were fade resistant but man they were rotor hungry. The advanced technology are supposed to be ceramic but I worked them hard enough to have particles embed into my painted aftermarket wheels (on another vehicle).
Quote:once you get used to GG you will NEVER go back!!Another 60 miles tonight on the BR9 & GG pads and all alone on a long steep off ramp I decided to brake late and mercy, its like she said "is that all you got?"
My rotors are still showing the machined cross hatching with a slight amber hue. I called Power Stop & StopTech to talk about bedding because of it and was told its dependent on vehicle weight and Rotor Pad combo. 40-10mph on different weights will generate different temps.
Then I confessed (to StopTech) I felt 40-10 and 35-5mph didn't do anything, no feedback, smell, or smoke and I later in the same day did five 70-20mph and three 50-20mph, discontinuing because I achieved a smoke puff and they said not problem I should be good to go.
She's still breaking in.
