Brake Pad Manufacturer (F/R): Gloc
Caliper (F/R): OEM non-Brembo
Rotor Size (F/R - IE OEM or specify): OEM size DBA slotted
Compound (F/R): R12/R6
Tires: 245/40 RS4

Feedback:
The pad cut is pretty poor, all 8 pads are different shapes and they dragged on the rotors until I sanded them down to fit in the caliper properly. Cold bite is like hitting a brick wall and sounds like a city bus stopping, so definitely not a street driving combination. Once warm they quiet down and you're able to modulate far better.

Scores:
Dusting (1=high-10=low): 3
Cold bite (1=low-10=high): 10
Hot bite (1=low-10=high): 10
Modulation (1=low-10=high): 8
Noise (1=extremely loud-10=quiet): cold-1, hot-6
Pad Lifespan (1=short-10=long): Est 9 - So far ~20 events and still a lot of life left.
Does the brake dust with this combination damage the wheels/paint if not cleaned immediately? Unsure, have ceramic coated wheels and wash wheels after every event.
Brake ducts: N
