Hey all, i just pulled the goldfren sintered pads out my calipers due to their shit feel and poor braking, the organics were much better and i read one account of loosing all braking with those sintereds in the wet.
Are sintereds supposed to offer better braking to offset the increased wear to the rotors? What are carbon compounds like? What other compounds are available?
Cheers

Re: Brake pad compounds?
It could just be the brand of pad you are using, I use EBC Sintered (HH) and they are great I have however used Bendix sintered pads as I got given a new set and they where useless..
