I only have 570 BHP and 530 lb ft of torque. What's the worst that can happen?......

Switch the ESP off and they may last a couple of months

I have DSC off ......and Trac DSC which allows for a certain amount of slip and slide. Even with the DSC fully engaged it still seems to slide quite a bit before being reined in.......which is quite surprising,

Pagid....

Sounds like a brand of soft French cheese. 

You are spot on, complete crap 

I think the pads were original, so lasted 19500 miles. I'll see how long the Pagid pads last.

Most of the braking power is the responsibility of the front brakes so perhaps it won't matter too much if the rear brakes are piss poor.

They are not great for high speed braking and when hot (and the vectoring function they can get hot, rear pads are very important on modern cars).

Lots of dust to, so not good for alloy wheel finish 

At the end of the day, they are a cheap entry level pad

That's both intentional and a characteristic of the both system

Available from all god branches of Eurocraparts. 

Things must be bad if Eurocraparts have turned to pedalling religion

I think in the UK now, they are exclusive to Eurocraparts.

I currently have them all round on the Black Pussy due to needing some in a hurry.  I've had huge issues with Pagid on the Battlebus and the Omega, so definitely not my first choice (although I did buy it with Pagid all round).

However, I'm pleasantly surprised, they take some abuse and have lasted better than expected, and I haven't felt the need to replace them early, like I did on the Battlebus (after about a month as couldn't get them to bite) or Omega (couple of weeks due to overheating issues).  Very dusty though, and the allows are stained. All 4 alloys, not just the front.

OK......so it looks like I'll be dead and buried by the weekend. At least they don't squeal though, which  I find annoying in both women and cars.

I'm interested in how your think they compare to the originals, once you have bedded them in

Will do....TB. ........So far they seem fine.

The box has 'engineered in Germany' written all over it, which presumably means they are manufactured somewhere on the dark continent by small brown boys without shoes.

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Yes, a German "engineer" sent a spec sheet to Taiwan to instruct them how to make them.
