rubbish in my experience. easy to cook, create loads of dust, don't last long.

that's in my experience, i killed a brand new set in a few laps of castle coombe. thanfully had some ferodo's in the boot to replace them with so didn't lose much time.

if you can go for ferodo DS2500's, absolute gem of a brake pad.

what car is this for? if its japanese i suggest giving projectMu a try too.

all depends how you drive really, if you're just pottering around town you could get away with just about anything, if you drive hard and do repeated heavy braking, say between a set of roundabouts, you'll find red dots fade, this is where pads like the DS2500 prove their worth. very good fade characteristics, and good from cold too
