The full library

All 26 pads, rated

26 pads across 5 duty classes and 15 compound families. Each row carries the compound, the operating window the maker publishes, the street price band and a character rating: the mean of seven axes (bite, fade resistance, cold performance, quietness, dust, pad life, rotor friendliness), scored out of 10. The ratings are brakepadfinder.com's editorial synthesis of manufacturer specs and long-term community consensus — character guidance, not lab data.
