    Cold braking performance

    Something else to throw into the mix. IF,, youve overheated the pads, ie had a bit of brake fade, ive found they dont work aswell afterwards... I had this after a trackday i did in another car, the pads never were the same again...And i swapped them out pretty soon afterwards.
