I bought Raybestos Element 3 Hybrid pads and couldn't be happier. They squeal a tiny bit when very cold but I trust these brakes to get me down a mountain.
Owner reviews for brake pads
I have Akebono's on the rear of my R. VERY low dust from both.
I ran bluestuff on my FK8 for two days. I am a novice and it worked great.
I use EBC blues on front and EBC yellow on rear (they don’t make blues for my rear brakes). I love them, I think they work great on street and track, although wear a lot faster than Yellows did when I was first starting out.
Hawk Blues are the best I’ve driven on a street driven 930 being used on the track. Thousands of laps with different compounds. Or HPS+ if you’re not that aggressive.
I have Power Stop Z23 Ceramic/Carbon Fiber pads, they are quiet and no dust. This is for my daily driven car, no track action.
I always buy akebono ceramic pads. They are made in japan and are great quality for the price. Dead silent too.
Coming from stoptech sports. I got dba sport sp. ceramic pads. Same feel but no dust!
i remember hearing a guy complain about his cx5 eating through brakes, but the cx5 is the same car as my mazda3, and my mazda3 has seen 70,000km for its rear brake pad/ 90,000km for the fronts, and I drive a mix of city/highway.
Yes. Ebc yellows completely failed for me on the 3rd lap.
