That's a very general statement mate.....perhaps its best to post from your own experience eg. you find the bendix ultimates, or kings performance is very good for price.

There are plenty of decent brake pads available, it just depends on the application your after. Other brands eg. EBCs, Pagids, Ferodo etc. It just depends how much your willing to pay.

I'm using Ferodo DS2500s on the front, and yes heaps of dust, because they are a softer compound, but they pull up extremely well.

oh and my motto when it comes to brake pads/tyres/suspension....If it saves you just one day....its worth the money ;)

cheers for the feed back guys.
and yeah break/brake. ... haha. spelling nazi :p

If ur brakes pull up well u'll most likely have soft compound pads..
This is good
but at an expense coz of the excessive brake dust..
I'm using EBC greenstuff... on my DBA xdrilled slotteds.. still bedding it in..
and it seems to be going along smoothly

If u guys have Excessive brake dust... buy a bottle of Wheel Acid .. dilute it about 40% Acid 60% water.. and spray onto wheels..[don't try it on chromies..] leave on for 30 seconds and then rinse it off with a high pressure hose... if u dont have that just hose it off..
I use this stuff @ work on the BMW's and the pads are far more dustier than any other.. but it does the job well..

if you check with DBA, Slotteds are designed to remove glazing by 'cutting' into the pad and removing the glazing. I have used and recommended slotteds on nearly all of my customers cars with bendix pads but they do dust a little more.
My friends make jokes that I paint my chrome Zepters ;) but nothing a little soap & water can't fix

Yeah im quite sick of all my brake dust, im using bendix ult's and yeah bit of dust, after a week or so my white wheels are gray at the front and white on the rear, lol but yeah some maguires pink stuff car wash lifts it off nicely :D
