Would you feel that turning them would be necessary before switching back to the stock pads?

You can switch back to stock without turning them no problem

I agree with this because that's what I did . I was given a cheapo set of Napa brand pads a customer returned and the owner is a friend of mine so he said "here try these" lol $40 brake pads and they work better then the Z26's . I just went to a back road and bedded them in . Hot spots gone , no squealing but a bit more dust but it's worth the trade off to me.

I'd rather deal with the dust then destroying $1000 rotors .

The Brembo's also help with keeping the front of the car looking good.
I will take dirty wheels before explaining to leo that yes I smacked into the back of the mini van. But look atleast my wheels don't look like poo. The tires are sitting in coolant mind you.😉
I clean my car everytime I use it anyways. Depending on if it's been awhile, sometimes after driving and before driving.

Do you know which pads? As in the prefix. I would try the SX series pad but probably nothing else on my car.

🤣🤣🤣 Ya well then they served you as would be expected i guess.
The SX series is the severe duty for the cop cars, taxis and school busses. They probably don't have them for our cars, I will check out of curiousity.

One of the 1/2 mile events that I used to go to had a shorter shut down than my track. Had to test brakes on first pass. With Brembo's I got 1.18 on the g meter in the car under braking.

James only has to run better fuel and turn it up and he will be fine.
I on the other hand need you to cut reaction times like you did on the weekend. Then I might give you something to chase with my little 707hp.😆😆
Unfortunately for me I don't think that will be the case.🤷‍♂️

So I removed the power stops all the way a round and put the stock pads back in. While I had the wheels off I cleaned them and put another coat of CSL ceramic coating on them. Took her out and bedded the pads in and all the spots came off. But man that dust is a killer. Just covered after about 10 hard stops! The ceramic coating should help just blow the dust off.

That’s not brake dust it’s performance coating
Ask moparjim he runs the brembo pads and gets no dusting at all because his car is slow
