Xr50 Donating Members 196 Member For: 14y 5m 6d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 06/11/13 05:40 AM Share Posted 06/11/13 05:40 AM Gonna be upgrading my rotors soon and wanted to get some decent pads too.Ive heard a lot of criticism about Bendix and squeeling and Ferodo seem to have a poor overall rep so which pads would be the go.Obviously Brake performance is crucial, but they also need to be quiet and not too abrasive or create a lot of dust.Any help appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will always be a compromise, good pads eat discs and make dust. They are only really a little squeaky when cold and on light pedal application.

boost69 Donating Members 737 Member For: 19y 6m 7d Posted 06/11/13 09:40 PM Share Posted 06/11/13 09:40 PM I have Ultimates on the BF XR6T and they have very good bight, but do squeal a bit, and are quite dusty. Though I really like them as they really give you that confident grippy stopping feel even after a few hard repeated stops. On the FG XR6T I have the SRT pad on the front and oddly enough there is not much squealing, the bight is good and they are quite dusty also. On the rear I have the standard Ford pads, and they produce very little dust at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently if you go that way your going to sacrifice on how good they are going to bite?I was told to give the Brembo pads a go. Im still inclined to try them (pretty cheap at $70-$80 per set) but I also saw a new ferodo pad called TQ (Thermal Quiet I think?) which boast the most quietest brakes ever so was tempted by that too. Its probably going to be best to ask a brakes specialist in your area what their opinion will be? but I think the HPX pads are good (but dusty)? Don't quote me on that but lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only downpart to them is that they are extremely dusty Maybe give them a search and see what people that have them think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squeals BAD unless I keep bedding them in. I have the same pads on my VX Clubsport R8 with DBA Gold Slotted and Cross Drilled rotors, they squealed a bit at first too but nowhere near as bad.
