Favorite Brake Pads?

Quote from: Deutschbag
I'm curious as to whether anyone has anyone tried Ferodo and Axxis and chosen Axxis? The Axxis are looking pretty good, but my buddy swears by Ferodo.... but then again I'd like to pay half as much for the Axxis!
At half price, I would just go Axxis.
I would buy them again, no question, in fact my Miata is getting some once it gets back on the road.

If I can get some, my mom's Toyota Tacoma will be getting some as well.

The Ferodo may be better, but Axxis work perfect for me.

That's a pretty good summation of this conversation. Ferodo is almost certainly better, but I'm not about to pay over 100 bucks for brake pads if I'm not gonna be tracking the car.

Very sound conclusion.  Go with what will, all aspects averaged, be the best.

Visit HERE for a plethora of 318iS stuff and some other randomness.  Would you say I have a, plethora, of pinatas?

I highly reccomend the Ferrodo street pads if you have a street car.  Excellent feel and great performance.  That pad won European Car's brake pad test as well.

I'm planning on some track use, which is why I chose the Hawk HPS.

StopTech sells them . . . is there a better (cheaper) place to get them?

I'm running HPS right now and I like them alot.  They are also cheap ($45 for my application)  

I think I'll try some Carbotech's for the track and keep the HPS on the street.

I got mine from Chris@DasAutoSport.com:  DasAutoSport.com

I've been really happy with the service and prices I'm getting there on aftermarket and OE stuff for my M3, and since they're in Las Vegas, it's usually really quick shipping to me in SoCal.

I buy Bendix loaded calipers. They're rebuilt calipers (by Bendix) lubed, with new rubber parts, and Bendix TitaniuMetallic pads installed. They are $75 each and are quick and clean. Just R&R the calipers, bleed and go. I've never had one go bad or be defective out of about 12-15 pairs. Sorry about not using the "best" performance product but my limits these days are a little "spirited" driving on a country road every now and then. The rest of the time I'm cruising the boulevard.

my porterfield's dusted ugly red and had terrible cold bite on my wrx.  however, they stopped well in track usage.  my HPS+ streets seem much better with squeal and cold bite for street driving, yet maybe a little less effective for hard braking.
