Ferodo DS Performance pads are pretty good all round and will not fade out on the street and you don't generally get that resin issue on the rotor face like some of the other pads out there ( I won't name them). Bremtec Endure are a low dust heavy duty pad but because of the low dust low rotor wear they lose a little bit of initial bite but they have pregressive braking and find they work well for everyday driving. If a rotor has slight run out then don't expect brake pads to fix the issue it is more likely warped but don't confuse that witha more common problem of resin build up on the rotor face around the slots and using the brakes more aggressively can sometimes wipe that away. GCT pads and some EBC are common brand pads than we have seen have issues with and why there not generaly recommended. I have to disagree and say not all performance pads will eat rotors and that FGXR6T rotors are like the DBA 4000 T3 rotors without slots I can't imagine Ford spending that much money on there rotors and I mean for staters they don't have the Kangaroo paw design or TSP which is Thermal Stability Profiling. Most peple just do front upgrades but I mean put a full set of DS Performance pads and DBA T3 Slotted on your car for instance and you will be guarenteed shorter stopping distances and no brake fade on the street.

Want the performance not too worried about noise. Hope ive made the right choice :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
