I've used TRW on other cars and found them to be satisfactory - not particularly special, just good quality pads from an OE manufacturer at sensible prices. In this case, its because I have been very disappointed with Pagid and Brembo in this fitment (both from ECP so who knows what chinesium crap they actually were) and so I figured TRW were worth a try in a D2 (and because I can buy them from somewhere that isn't ECP). The fact that they actually fit the calipers is a pleasant surprise because they're the first pads I found to do so straight out of the box. Since these are rebuilt calipers and we'll have fresh fluid, pads, hoses, relatively fresh discs, and a brake block, this one is probably going to be as good as S8 Brembos get so I am interested to see how it behaves.
