From experience DriveTec is indeed trash, I'm pleasantly surprised by the Eicher discs and pads I put on the front about 18 months ago, they perform really well even from a higher speed and always consistent regardless of temperature, speed, weather etc. Not sure what brand of brakes my Saab had when I bought it but I can only assume it was Pilgrim's Choice as they had the same braking properties as cheese.
