Hi all.

Debating over PBR Metal Masters (or whatever they call them now) or TRW pads.

The TRW *may* have the "Cotec" coating (see below). I have to wonder
if the Cotec burns off during bedding in or gets impregnated into the
rotor metal?

Anyone used the TRW semi metallic pads? If so, any opinions on stopping power?

I don't care about dusting or noise levels. Just want a pad that
offers good stopping power and as little fade as possible during
normal use (i.e. not riding brakes etc.)

Thanks

Neil.

From TRW webpage here:
http://www.trwaftermarket.com/en/Products/Disc-Brake-Systems/Brake-Pads/

"TRW has introduced Cotec - an innovative coating for its brake pads.
Independent tests have proven that Cotec achieves significantly
shorter stopping distances than the brake pads of major competitors or
even OE, for the first stops after leaving a garage following a brake
pad change."
