[xcm77]

TOMEX TX 60-08 (EU only)
Usage: Light daily driving
Dust level: medium/high

Review: ok for light DD but comes with severely diminished bite when cold, hot or wet. Pedal feels stiffer compared to OEM pads; ABS kicks in every time I slam the brakes. I have zero confidence in them on the track and diminished confidence in tight DD situations.

added. Did you notice any side effects due to the compound being corrosive? (as reported by many)

The GLOC R10 is commonly used as a rear pad with R12 or higher on the front. Its fine in that application.

Of all the options listed, which has the strongest cold initial bite?

Of the few I've tried, the GLOC R6 has a very strong initial bite if you don't want something which needs to run hot.

I tried the OEM, Bendix and now Tomex and of the 3, the OEM and Bendix were the best, Tomex sucks big time.

Power stop has a third street option, super low dust. Forget the model number but I've tried all three and this third one is by far the best choice I found. Almost no dust, no noise and great initial bite and braking performance. It literally felt like OEM without the dust.
