TRW front brake pads?

I saw rb brakes offering TRW brake pads with their rotor kits and found these on Amazon for $90. Anyone have any experience with these? TRW TPC1320

When "TRW" logo comes in (Red), means; they're carbon/Ceramic,,

I tried them as a normal daily use, they're great, but NOT that sure about their efficiency with tracks..!?!?

ZAYED,,

The only thing that sketches me out about these is the fact that they're ceramic. I've had ceramic pads before and didn't really like them. Pedal feel goes out the door, while fade becomes super prevalent.

Any one else with ceramic pads have a similar or dissimilar experience?

+1 on pedal feel and definitely ++1 on initial bite. I find that I change my driving style after a few days of driving someone else's car that is on ceramics. For the street they are more than adequate but I'm still an old school semi-metallic pad guy. I prefer the feel, I deal with the dust.

I have heard porterfield are the pads to get.


Speaking of, what ever happened to that thread with the porterfield pads and prices. Search is not working at all for me. Keeps throwing error.
