Default Brake pads

Hi guys and girls,

Getting a new hispec front brake kit for my motor and wanted your opinions on brake pads.

Got a choice of these:

EBC - blue red and yellow
Ferodo - DS2500 DS3000
Mintex - 1144 1155 1166
Pagid - black
Pagid - rs19 yellow
Pagid - rs4-2 blue

Wanted to no if anyone's used these and whether they are any good ?.

Cheers guys

depending on the exact caliper then you will most likely find the ds2500 of PFC Z-rated pads offer the best value for money and performance for your needs

wouldn't touch E*C personally and the others are probably more aggressive than you need

I have just replaced my EBC NDX blues for PFCs Z rated as I was not impressed with the EBCs, particularly for the money, where as these seem much better IMO
