How did you feel about the Carbotech pads? The RS-19s warn against increased rotor wear but the Carbotech pads all claim "more rotor friendly". Could be marketing BS or maybe a warning from Padgid, hard to say. I was wondering why you are switching (cost?) and/or if you know what temperatures your pads were actually getting to (do you have a thermometer)? I know things will vary but right now I have no idea how hot the pads get so I don't even know what ballpark I'm in. Obviously I don't want something that will melt onto my rotors but I also don't want a pad so hard that they chew up my rotors. Any numbers would be better than my WAG.

What a pain. I'd just go back to video games but now I'm spoiled. Anyhow, I do appreciate the feedback.
