I finally succumbed and upgraded my entire braking system using the Brembo rotors and Rotex gold pads front and rear. I cannot believe , even to a mere casual driver, the difference in braking feel and capability. (I also now can place my "special friend" in a much more suitable position besides on her knees attempting to remove the accumulated brake pad dust. (photos to follow ...if I can ever ascertain the use of " avatars" versus larger floppy disk digitals?)
