@ DaveB,
Yes I definitely will be asking AP to clarify about the 85%. But whatever the braking distribution is, my car doesn't front end dive or handle badly as a result.
Whereas I can understand how a certain amount of heat generation is a good thing, I think we all know that too much heat is not a good thing!
It's well known that DS2500 pads, like tyres, need a bit of heat in them to work better but that's easily generated.
Dont know whether its an installation issue but the 2500 compund has been getting a bit of a slating recently over on uk-mkivs, the pad of choice over there at the moment seems to be the pagid blues
....I don't read the uk-mkivs forum but I'm not inclined to view such information as reliable. Someone posts a negative opinion which then starts others wondering and naturally it spreads. Whether the negative comment was right or wrong it happens everywhere on the internet (and elsewhere such as public confidence in the economy etc). What's more important is who expressed the opinion originally and on what basis. Another aspect of car forums is how so many are
primarily led by cost considerations in their judgement of products - Perhaps Pagid Blues are cheaper (I don't know).
Do you have a link to this slating of the DS2500's please? [mine have just arrived in the post!]
Thanks
