Review on 🔥 Wagner SevereDuty SX785: Ultimate Performance Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Set by Andrew Grant

I carry a lot. I was hoping they would be better at fading than "regular" pads. However, when I received them, there were a few small tears on one pad and I sent the set back. This one turned out to be lucky as the pads are only DOT EE rated for coefficient of friction. What does EE stand for you ask? Well, let me explain because you've probably never heard of it. This is the two-letter edge code required by DOT. , and painted all street-legal brake pads. This gives you an idea of their ability to resist fading, but only if you know how to read them. However, since each letter covers a wide spectrum, this is only a rough guide. These edge codes, along with some other codes, are found on the edge of the friction material of each brake pad as required by law. The first letter is the CF class at 250F and the second letter is the material class at 600F. Each letter class can actually have a fairly wide CF range. But a difference in letter quality from medium to high temperature can be an indicator of wilting. The letters can be in any order. Therefore, FE pads fall off when it's hot, while EF pads don't stick when it's cold. Also, you should know that steel on steel has a CF of 0.25! So EE pads only have slightly more torque than no pads at all! Therefore, FF pads are generally considered the minimum for high performance pads. So the codes are: EE.0.25-0.35 at 250F and 600FFE.0.25-0.35 at 250F, 0.35-0.45 at 600FFF.0.35-0.45 at both temperatures (e.g. Hawk LTS are rated FF) GG 0.45 to 0.55 (e.g. EBS Yellowstuff and 6000 Greenstuff are rated GG) HH 0.55 to 0.65 (rare, usually just carbon/carbon. OK to 3000 F where it glows) So now you know. :)
