DIY INSTALL/REVIEW: Dezod X-Rated Yaris Brake Pads - Toyota Yaris Forums

ChinoCharles · 03-26-2007, 08:30 PM

I'll explain this one more time.

My tires are bald, so me trying to get a before-and-after 60-0 is pointless. My tires are so bad I could lock the wheels with the OEM pads at the right speed (definitely at 60 MPH), it just didn't take place as soon as with the Dezod pads. The numbers I'd get now would be totally off. If I'm going to go through the trouble of doing a Car-and-Driver-style test on these pads, I'm not going to bother until I have all of the other issues worked out.

Also, I offed the stock pads to a needy member. They aren't gone yet, but they will be in the next few days.

Numbers will come the next time I am in Toledo. I fully plan on stealing Joe's tires. Until then, can I not hear every member on the forums bitching for numbers YET AGAIN. Patience.

Pretty please?

EDIT: come to think of it, I could probably avoid the wheel lock on that hill if I just didn't bother rev matching and let the gear compression aid in slowing me down a bit. Looks like I'll be back tomorrow.
