best brake pads.... Lets have some fun

Posi-Quiet (not sure of maker)

ive used them on 2 different cars. Very quiet, little brake dust if at all, and nice stopping power. They dont give as much bit as hawk or ebc or a metallic pad but i like them. had them over 2 years and stil plenty of meat on them. If you look them up, they have ratings and the things they are known for is the low brake dust and noise

i even use them with drilled slotted rotors and they still last (alot of ppl say d/s rotors eat pads faster, not really though)
 


I had just bought 4 ebay rotors with their ceramic brakes. After i do full upgrade with f-bodies i could tell you how it feels.

Ceramic pads will not give the best stopping power-they are designed to be quiet with low dust and better stopping power than OEM pads but will not provide the ultimate in stopping distance.

I have used Performance Friction pads for 100,000 miles on my 01 and my 98 GT prior to that. I have also used the PF pads on my 04 Impala 3.8 LS for 50,000 miles and they still had pad material left when I sold it. Great stopping power, excellent longevity, no sqealing, and very little brake dust.

I have EBC Green pads on a 1994 Mustang GT and like them for stopping power but they do produce brake dust.

The best pads are carbon metallic or ferro carbon. I would also include Hawk HPS's as a great pad. To me the best all around value-Performance Friction-About $40 an axle.

This guys right, ceramic pads won't be a great pad for performance. I run my vette c5 calipers in front on my gtp and I run performance friction carbon metallic z-rated pads. I paid 3 years ago around $135 for these and they've been great. I run in the rears just normal performance friction pads.
 
Have to run ceramics on all my vehicles in upstate NY because the amount of salt they dump on the roads results in bands of rust on the rotors. I found only the ceramics are tough enough to keep the rotors clean of the rust bands.

I just put on a set of Raybestos Advanced Tech pads and rotors on the front and the combo resulted in the smoothest rotors surfaces I've ever gotten with after market parts. You feel that in the brake pedal as silky brake action. Wouldn't call these high performance but rate them better than stock.
