Measure the degree to which pads keep wheels looking clean and addresses customers need to have dust free wheels.
10 = Wheels are spotless1 = Wheels are unreasonably dusty
9.5
Measures ease of which stains / dirt from disc brake pads can be removed by normal washing methods, addresses concerns about removing residue from hands.
10 = Stains wash off easily1 = Almost impossible to wash hands clean
9.0
Measures the degree to which pads cause brake noise. Addresses customer's need for quiet braking.
10 = Brakes are noiseless1 = Brakes are unreasonably noisy
8.5
Measure the expected life or rotors prior to replacement. Addresses customer's need for reasonable rotor life.
10 = Longer life than any person would keep the vehicle1 = Excessive immediate wear
9.0
Measure expected life of pads prior to replacement - addresses customer's need for reasonable pad life.
10 = More than 10,000 Km1 = Less than 5,000 Km
8.0
(Long Term Pedal Feel) Measures the typical friction level for most of the working life of a pad, addresses customer's need for good pedal feel.
10 = High Performance (feels great)1 = Low performance (too much effort)
7.0
(Initital Pedal Feel) Measures the initial friction level or pads when first installed on vehicle - addresses customer's need for good pedal feel.
10 = High Performance (feels great)1 = Poor performance (too much effort)
8.0
(Effectiveness) Measures variation on friction level from the Operating Friction Level when pads are cold - addresses customer's need for pedal feel to be consistent.
10 = Exactly same as Operating Friction level1 = Will not stop when cold
8.0
(Stopping) Measures variation on friction level from the Operating Friction Level when stopping at high speed - addresses customer's need for consistent pedal feel.
10 = Exactly same as Operating Friction level1 = Measurably lower
8.0
Measures the degree to which pads wear grooves and ridges on rotor surface - addresses customer's need for even rotor wear.
10 = Mirror like - even finish1 = Very rough, badly scored finish
9.0
(Repeated Stops) Measures the decrease in friction over repeated heavy-duty stops as temperature increases - addresses customer's need for consistent pedal feel.
10 = Friction does not change at all1 = Friction decreases to dangerously low level
6.5
(Single Stop) Measures decrease in friction during a single stop - addresses customer's need for consistent pedal feel.
10 = Friction does not change at all1 = Friction increases to dangerously low level
