If you want comfort, use an OE supplier (TRW, Textar, pagid), if you want more performance at the cost of some added noise/dust, Ferodo/hawk/EBC
When I bought one of my cars used I immediately noticee the brakes felt horrible. As in they didnt feel like they wanted to stop. Its almost like when your slowing down and coming up on the car infront you expect your car to slow down faster than it is right now. So you oush down harder and harder and you get maybe 10% more braking. Yeah. Swapped those pads out for some street performance pads. Night and day difference. The brakes actually work now. Good initial bite and good modulation.
I had the same problem with my c8 z51, I switched to the Carbotech 1521 pads and they solved the problem. Would definitely recommend
I use to buy trw ATEC, after use found out its leave alot of break dust. After doing some research, I found out the TREW ATEC made for metalic that why it have alot of dust. I change to TRW DTEC which made form ceramic it not dusty and more silent.
I had an issue with severe brake dust from the OEM pads on my Z06 Corvette. I replaced the pads with Carbotech 1521s and the dust was eliminated. Made a huge difference with keeping the wheels clean and the pads preformed better.
Brembo Slotted Brakes (286mm F) TRW Pads
Carbotech has served me very well on my M6
im running XP10s... so far this set up is amazing, the braking is strong initial bite with little fade. Just take in consideration that this Carbotech pads are modular which means you will have a slight longer pedal travel than normal. And yes they are super noisy, when i drive it on the street i try to be careful with my braking and not feather the brakes, that will make then literally screech and grind the rotors, instead i try to brake a bit harder than usual to get a good bite and then let go of the brake once i stoped (put the car in neutral most of the time or creep forward little by little to releave some heat).
I use carbotech xp8s. Dtc 60 or 70s would also be a good choice. Be warned through track pads driven on the street will accelerate rotor wear. I hated the Ferodo ds2500s when cold.
TRW a kezdetektől 4/1 sípol, sosem lehet tudni.
