K - what brand of pad did you buy? I'm considering Axxis pads. Any difference in initial "bite" when applying the brakes?
Well done on the detailing!!

Thanks M . I've got a half dozen shots showing the results but some reason they won't upload .... anyway I have Axxis pads and they work great , no lack of stopping power, in fact the bedding in process is quite fun . You need to do several high speed stops just a little less that the ABS threshold so you know pretty quickly how well the new pads work........ but the best thing is the lack of dust ! What a nice feature for people who hate dirty wheels................write the cheque and get them !!

try opening up a photbucket account (it's free and this is not spam, ). That way you just have to insert via link/address....
