Lyndall Brake Pads

Lyndall Brake Pads
I just put on new wheels and matching rotors. Never thought about the polished rotors and stock brake pads until after the fact. My question is to those who have used the Lyndall pads, are they all they're cracked up to be? and do they keep the polished surface of the rotor from getting scarred? Thinking about putting a set on before I go grabbing the front brake anytine soon.

RE: Lyndall Brake Pads
I put polished rotors on a few years back. I used "organic" pads that were supposed to be better. They did seem to not mar the surface for a while but last summer you could see the wear on the rotors.
All the research I've done points to the Lyndall's so over the winter I swapped out the front and back pads.
The back because I was sick of cleaning the brake dust and polishing the solid spun wheel.
Now I have to polish the rotors before I put them back on. A buddy keeps telling me he can do it or help me but that hasn't happened yet either.
I don't think I'd mind paying some one to do it at this point.
They aren't all that bad really so I may just slap them back on.

I think that they're alright. I don't think that they're the best though. I know "best" is relevent. I have "z"'s on mine now, and as soon as they are gone if not before, I will put on Ferodo's, as I hear that they are supposed to be better than the lyndals. They squeak.
Your rotors will show wear. I think it impossible for them not to.
