this is correct. two great example:

ap racing, slots point forward
brembo, slots point backward

Henry, you wanna leave our slots outta this?

Man talking about which way your slots are pointing.

That's pretty much borderline grounds for being banned.

Let's keep this discussion clean people !

Learn somethin' new everyday. I wonder what their logic is for slot design. Thanks for putting an end to my rantings of slot direction.

i used to run the pigid pads that came with the ap racing standard. that's the racing pads and it was a nightmare. the car stopped in a dime but the brake dust was enormous to say the least.

now i have the ebc green and it's awesome. stopping is no where like before, but still good, and the wheels are always clean

Maybe it's carried by brake dust?

You know we are a glutton for punishment so even though we have it, we still want to see pics of others similarly afflicted.

Bring 'em on!

Pagid makes good pads, but all German pads dust. TUV specs require brake pads to contain graphite in them.

also the pigid was so aggressive that it really eats up the rotor. now with the ebc it's a lot better
