TRD pads noticeably effective?

Hey just wondering if those who have tried TRD pads noticed a worthwhile difference in braking.

oem everything, 8k miles.

I have two words for you (more of a name).

"CHRIS RADO"

The reason why I say his name? He is or at least was using the TRD pads on his time attack tC.

Nope.

I hadn't seen that ad. This was just something I was thinking about doing down the road. Seems like the oem pads are not quite as effective as I would like.
