Re: If it is obvious in the first place

It's really not that complicated.

I asked about the specific pads and the claims that the manufacturer was making (i.e. the manufacturer's claims are not an "obvious fact"). Your response was to state an obvious fact, that repeated braking produces heat and can cause pads to fade.

You have changed your comments somewhat with this bit:

"EBC brake pads use better compound material for better stopping distance and reduced brake fade."

Are you claiming that merely by slapping these pads on you will reduce your stopping distance in single stops, before heat begins to affect the brake system (fade)?

That's one way that your comments could be interpreted, hence my question.

Ah...I get it now.

The ole "aesthetic" reason to get those groovy (pun untended) coolio rotors.
