i just read your post.

your gold pads sound similar to the daily driver posiquiet semi-metallic pads that stoptech sells if that helps you. Honestly the only way to find out if Rotex is their economy division is to call and ask them.:


PosiQuiet Semi-Metallic

Available for most European models, PosiQuiet Semi Metallic pads offer bite levels similar to or greater than OEM formulas with reduced levels of noise and dust. Well suited to performance street driving under all weather conditions.


I never was much of a believer that all the pads are the same quality/performance, all car makes and models are the same quality and performance, you don't get what you pay for, all tires are the same and made by 1 company and so on. I was just to share some useful information on the site by posting up about my thoughts on some excellent street/track pads. i thought it was difficult to find a set of pads that can perform on the streets and the track which i need since i live so far away from the track (have good cold and hot operating temps aka best of both worlds as much as possible). Of course switching wheels/tires and pads at the track is the best option but a headache and only for those that live close to a track and can go often which unfortunately i do not.

Just to follow up, the stoptech street performance pads in the original post performed great at the track saturday. There was a noticeable improvement in stopping power and fade resistance. I am very happy with these and they held up well over the weekend, these were a good buy in my opinion.
