unsure on ATE vs Textar. I think the general outlook for me on Akebonos is that, they're a good pad but require more pedal pressure to achieve same braking. This is a reduction in performance to me. I don't care about the dust.
I currently have those ATE pads and I need to know if anyone's had them. Otherwise, I'll have to go for the textars and be left with the ATEs. I don't want to have to change the pads out again.
So basically, are the ATEs as soft and similar in nature to the Textars (i.e. the original dusty pad).
Thanks so much for the wealth of information!
