So much dicking around. Glad you are happy with them though.Do you find the pads bite pretty hard straight away? I've heard the SRT's go through pads quite fast but for the sake of them biting well and stopping well, I'm happily replace rotors 5000kms earlier than with softer pads...

Hope you get better performance from them than I did.

I have noticed a increase in brake dust but a price I'm willing to pay.I think it will be hard to keep everyone happy with brakes at the end of the day it's what you want and what you're willing to pay and what you going to use them for. Everyone is different and everyone has different views of the same product just like hype said some like the RDA's some don't. Same goes for the SRT some will some wont.ATM I've only had them on the car for 4 days so, so far I like what ive got.

Still got them on now, once they cooled off on the drive home back to normal. Bought brembos on the weekend though Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86007-what-upgrade-brakes-on-g6e-lux-rims/page/5/#findComment-1421014 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The braids prevent this expansion in the lines under pressure and giving the pedal a firmer, less spongy feel.
