Good read and TGIF!
Brakes seem to be such a difficult recommendation because of the variables and options in pads. Oh and the opinons...so may opinions.
I'm in the middle of looking at pad options. I currently have Ferodo DS2500's in the front and stock rear. These DS2500's have been great on spirited mountain drives (Bear Mountain Runs before I moved to South Florida...I miss those
) and also at WITW! But they clank (I probably need to reshape the clip) and they dust way more than I want to.
I have a set of TRW TPC1633's (ceramic) that I would normally swap back in during the winter when I was living in NY. I'm going to swap back to those now that WITW is over since I don't do any other spirited driving that the TRW's can't handle.
I'm curious if there is a pad that is in between these 2 I can stick with?
I see that the TRW TPC's are no longer available and seem to have been replaced with the TRW THX. A friend of mine got these thinking they were the TPC version and he thought they were too dusty. His mechanic switched him to EBC Reds and he's happy...
Maybe the TRW THX is better for spirited driving but with still low dusk?
Also I'm using the same rotor currently to swap between the TRW ceramics and DS2500's. Besides bedding procedures are there any other tips when swapping pads with the same rotor? I know it's probably ideal to have a dedicated rotor for a pad but it's not that serious for me.
I realize this is jumping the topic so I may create a new thread for this question since I see that many people seem to swap pads with the same rotor. I'm just looking at best practices.
Thanks in advance
