Owner reviews for brake pads

Comparisons
Akebono's are expensive? News to me. I keep buying them because they offer no noticeable deficiency in braking compared to OEM in day to day driving, while making well less than half the amount of brake dust and come in substantially less expensive than OEM.
Pros: less brake dust, inexpensive
Cons: no braking deficiency
Vehicle:
Porsche Cayman

Carbotech XP10 Front Pads Only - USED - $45 shipped to U.S. lower 48 -these are proper endurance racing pads (popular in Spec Miata, Spec E30, etc), I wouldn't try to use these on the street -used for 2 track days on my '09 TDI -11.6mm of friction material remaining (approx 85%)
Pros: proper endurance racing pads
Cons: not for street use

Pros: good stuff

I have had my set up on for about a month now. Stopping power is significantly better as well as way increased pedal feel. Bite is fantastic just with the Hawk HPS that I run on the street and even better with the DTC-30's that I run on the track.
Pros: better stopping power, increased pedal feel
Stock pads have always been like that. My MKIV was like that as well especially in the rear. So I changed them with Mintex pads.
