Well, I had to throw out the anchor on the '11 RT-S for a lovely family of whitetails that decided it would be a good idea to cross right in front of me (nothing new or surprising: we had at least 85 deer strikes in a 3/4 mile stretch of highway in front of my drive last year). I was initially concerned, since the pedal has kind of a soft feel and the pads have low initial bite, but under hard application it "whoahed" pretty good while just tickling the ABS...about as good a stopping distance as my V Star 1300. Can anyone who has installed the EBC pads tell me if they have better grab at light pedal pressures- or any other notable differences?
