That first time braking on new pads/rotors is scary because they just do not stop well. A few times I've done other stuff on the car as well as the brakes and then forgot as I press the pedal and the brakes just fail to grip.

Do you guys just get lovely arse pads or something everywhere else in the world? The Bendix stuff I buy and fit here in Aus has some "Blue Titanium stripe' that they coat across the pad surface that basically is like throwing an anchor out the back when you do the initial stop and that does the bulk of the stopping work as the pads fully bed in.

Ask Brembo why their pads are poo poo before you've hauled up a few times I guess?! Those Bendix pads look decent, looks like they do them for bikes over here (without the magic blue bit) but not cars unfortunately.
