Wagner OEx pads

[Scott4957]

Anyone know anything about these? They say they will stop a vehical up to 50ft shorter than OEM pads. I assume "up to" is likely a best case and from what speed I have no idea because from 60 that would be impossible.

*Results based on 60 MPH post fade performance testing conducted by Link Engineering Company comparing Wagner Brake pads to competitor’s brake pads on the 2014 Ford F-150, 2011 Toyota RAV4 and 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe.

Who's the competitor?  That's a huge list to pick from ...  I think it was Raybestos that has a Police Interceptor brake pad that's supposed to be very good.  Z?

Definitely the Raybestos pads seem to be far superior IMO and at the same time have a brake system flush performed for optimum performance,here's a good article on the different brake pad compounds and performance.  Z    http://www.hendonpub.com/resources/article_archive/results/details?id=1569

LOL, this sounds like a very detailed and technical review. So 60-0 for the 2013 MKS is 120ft. How the hell to do they get off saying 50ft shorter? I don't know what the F150 is but it can't be much different. This brings up another question, has anyone that has done the EBC kits and other ever tested their 60-0? I would be happy with 15ft. If any rotor or pad took me down to 105 I would buy it in a second.

120 ft?

2013+ SHO manages the same in 106 ft, must be the extra poundage the MKS has to haul around.

I would like a pad and sticky tire combo that could get it down to double digits.

Hmmm, that was one number I came across, maybe I need to do more research.

I think only PP equipped cars have been tested by magazines.  Difference might be mostly between PP and non-PP.

Us MKS owners are basically driving a non-PP SHO.  Car is so heavy already that I'm not sure the weight difference matters much.

Isn't there something in the" Tune" that can be compromised and aid in better braking.IDK,but FYI had a brake flush performed recently and switched over to Motul full synthetic racing fluid and noticed overall better braking performance IMHO and two bottles are needed for the brake system flush if not done so already.  Z    http://www.amazon.com/Motul-8068HL-Factory-Percent-Synthetic/dp/B004LEYJO4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00

Good time to do the flush too, right before summer (and summer traffic) hits.
