I usually use whatever is cheap, but I quit buying from J C Whitney when they sent me a batch of pads that actually were riveted to the backing plates. When THOSE wear out they really make a mess of your rotors! Not sure about T1 pads, some may be the same as the early T3 pads. > What brand is more likely to have the groove in the middle, as Muir says is > recommended? The really nice and expensive pads have the groove as well as the extra layer of damping material on the back, however I have never been able to tell any difference. I suspect that the groove is a theoretical advantage that never really shows up, at least in street use.
