Hi iv been considering using EBC pads with my ATE power discs and Pagid Fast road pads with my power discs.

Iv heard mixed opinions about EBC, that they warp discs etc, and pagid nobody seems to no what theyr like. Iv heard teh name mintex about but dunno what theyr like etc, and ferrodo iv done some research, but arent these mainly for track day?

Im really stuck on which set to choose an could do with some more opinions or advice from fellow zoners.

please help all :(

Before I fitted my big brake kit, I used to run Pagid fast road pads (still do on the back), and found them to be excellent.

I have also heard mixed reviews on the EBC's (mostly bad). Mintex and Ferrodo are both very good pads, but there is very wide choice of pad materials, and I'm not sure what is best these days.

I can also vouch for Pagid fast road pads, I have them on the front of my 2.7 with ATE power discs and they work a treat :D

Cheers,
