Inroble Brake Pads?
Has anyone every tried Inroble brake pads on their Corvette? They are a Canadian company so they might not be available in the US. They are a low cost pad that appear to be quite good. I'm not looking for top performance since I don't race the car, just something for everyday driving that doesn't generate much dust.
Opinions?
Thanks

Re: Inroble Brake Pads? (Atok)
Not an answer to your question - but -
I've never had brake dust all over my wheels before. Yet my vette only goes a few days of town driving and there's dust.
I discovered that the shape of my 89 12 slot wheels is designed to suck air out of the brakes to keep them cool - so that explains why the dust is there.
When I got my vette it had almost new pads on it but it wouldn't stop - especially at slow speeds, in first, approaching lights or junctions. I had to really stand on the brakes. I replaced the pads, very hard for a mean skinflint like me as they were so new. Now my car stops and the brakes are normal.
If you are going to try these pads look on it as an experiment - you might come back here and say they are the best thing ever - then we'll all want them and you'll be famous.
or -
Hey, good luck and post back how it goes.
(I'm still trying to find out what pads I bought that work so well, when I get the info I'll post it, for sure)
