For those who thinks Red Stuff is all ceramic, so it's no different from your OEM pads, let me share my actual experience:

I rarely brake to the point for ABS to trigger; meaning I don't get close enough to the traction limit on braking.

From what I can see from your pic the pads and discs looked to have gone off with excess heat, what happens then is they glaze, the glaze is really hard to clear, and that will be why even now on the road they are poor. I have had the same in the past. You can't have your cake and eat it, brakes have an operating window, some have quite a large operating window but there is always a compromise. Standard road pads operate very well at low temp and are good uptown moderate high temps, but as they aren't designed for high temps going barreling from one braking event to the next before they have cooled can end in disintegration. They are also often made of a material much softer than the discs and therefore tend to not damage the discs as much

For folks who are curious about the Lancer 2.4L GTS turbo add-on: No, in the end, I did not go through with it. Find this complicated? – we tend to agree but all organic pads no matter which brand do need some bedding in to avoid loss of brake and a lot depends on rotor condition, the slightest hollow of the rotor surface will extend the bed in times a lot. So being accurate is important. Lohen offers in-house fitting for all products at our workshop in Eccleshall, Staffordshire, ST21 6JL. Here are the important things you need to know: Mr Blinky I like these brakes, a lot. I didn't want to review them until I had done 1000 miles on them, and now I have. These are a really nice replacement for OEM. Fitting was a breeze. they really did fit like a glove. Really easy to get on and a nice snug fit (all 4 corners - discs and pads). Main reason: I could not find a tuner (either local or remote) who would tune the ECU after a turbo add.I didn't have any measurement device to quantify it. By feel, it felt like roughly 20~30% better stopping G-force.
