Purely subjective, fact-free opinions from posters of unsubstantiated credentials such as a poster who appears to be simply a shill for a vendor should be discouraged. Sponsors who promote that kind of material should be avoided - and viewed with a high degree of skepticism and caution.

Vendor/sponsors who provide FACTUAL and OBJECTIVE data and information should be strongly encouraged - including this vendor, IF they decide to do so.

Sounds interesting:
1. What are the statistics and data that show that this “deepest” feature offers superior performance or durability or other desirable characteristics?
2. Who is the manufacturer?
3. Which dimension of the pad do you mean when you refer to “deepest”? Most similar objects’ dimensions are measured by length/width/thickness - not clear to me which dimension of a brake pad you think might be “deepest”.

^ Curious, do your forum regulations allow for the use of the word "douche" or other superlatives, if such behavior is witnessed? I mean, you did seem to write some set of rules that you feel really strongly that others should live by. I think people can make up their own minds - seems like you're trolling the hell out of this.

Brake pad dimensions and the terminology used to describe them is well explained here: https://www.essexparts.com/news-blog...d-owners-guide

They also explain why each dimension matters, including pad depth, Note that they refer to "pad depth" as "pad radial depth" to keep it from being confused with thickness.

Thank you very much- very useful clarification to know that the poster apparently intended to mean the radial dimension of the pad when referring simply to pad depth.

Would be helpful to know actual performance and manufacturer data.

I'd love to have the mu and MOT for the pads, but RB's not sharing. Of course, they're not alone - check out the "Porsche Racing Pads" catalog - they have a set of completely indecipherable curves showing pad performance. They do show mu, but there's no information at all about MOT. I know the RB ST600 mu is close to the Pagid RSC1 because I've run them back to back and can't tell which is which. But as for MOT, no idea.

Update: Essex uses "radial depth" but not everyone else. Here's a screen cap from the Pagid Racing site for a front pad for the 718 GT4 and a bunch of other Porsche's:

Pagid is happy to just say "Pad Depth" and let the user divine the meaning from the context.
