You'll notice I didn't recommend a pad, he didn't even ask anyone to either. I'll happily tell him what I use and what I think of them, but he needs to make his own mind up supported by good research, reviews and support from VWR.
I don't mean cons, Robin. I mean bad experiences.
Lets say AP had told you to put DS2500s in, you'd gone and done a track day and melted them, causing judder. Pads scrap, discs have to be reground.
You'd sort the problem with AP and no mention of it outside of those 4 walls would be made, which is honourable, too many people bitch rather than fix.
However, if someone posted up saying their AP/DS2500 kit was juddering, I don't think you'd share your experience in the interests of keeping your nice relationship sweet instead. Same could be said of VWR etc.
I do understand why, don't get me wrong, but as long as it is first hand and factual I don't see a problem.
