Guys and Gals,

I thought I'd chuck together a thread where everyone can post up the brake pads they have used and what they thought of them. I'll try and keep a summary up in this 1st thread as a quick glance resource. I'll list the pads as people post them up under three headings as either track only pads, track/street pads or steet only pads. For the summary I'll do a simple smile.gif next to the pad name if people like them or a sad.gif followed by a reason if people don't like them. Also if people can list where they got the pads from that would be great too. If you want anything else added let me know.

Track Pads

EBC Green sad.gif (poor performance and taper wear)
EBC Yellow - OK but not as good as DS3000's

Ferodo DS3000 smile.gif
Ferodo DS2500 smile.gif (rears) sad.gif (crumble with hard use)

Performance Friction Carbon Metallic biggrin.gif

SBS Dual Carbon smile.gif

Track/Street Pads

Bendix Ultiamtes (Light track work)

EBC Green - OK But not as good as DS2500's

Endless SSS

Ferodo DS2500

Queensland Friction Materials (QFM) A1.RM (front+rear)

SBS Ceramic Carbon smile.gif

Street Pads

Bendix Ultiamtes
