Stock pads and rotors - Average initial bite. Poor fade resistance. Bad high speed fade. Extremely dirty pads.

Titaniums (I or II) and AutoSpec rotors - Good initial bite. Good stopping power. Average fade resistance for the first few stops. Then it drops off quickly. Average high speed fade. Below average dusting.

Bendix CT3 & Bendix rotors - Good initial bite. Good stopping power. Slightly better fade resistance then the T2 pads. It still suffers the same drop off after the first few stops. (showing the rotors are likely the limiting fade curve factor) Average high speed fade. Less dusting then T2 pads.

I'll save my next two brake reviews for another week or so.

Typical brake fluid = Poor
Stock Motorcraft brake fluid = Average
Castrol LMA = Good
Valvoline Synpower = Good
ATE Super Blue = Great


Since that is semantically written...

Bad = 1
Poor = 2
Average = 3
Good = 4
Great = 5
Excellent = 6

Better than, slightly, below, etc = + or - .5

Give or take rounding errors...
