Hiya All

Just interested to see what everyone else uses in relation to brakes pads

I have been running the Greens on mine now for over 5 months!

No brake dust, no fade, great grip and performance!

I recently went to another brand for trial, brake dust within 100ks, fade, jolting, and no ABS.... plus when we pulled them off today they had craked only after 1000ks!!! Hmmmmm

So what do you use???

Are these the kevlar pads?

Bendix Ultimates - reasonable price and so far have proven quite bitey and reliable. Only downside is the dust, but it's a good incentive for a weekly wash anyway

I've got 5000kms on my green stuff pads and they are going great. I recently had a service and asked them to check the pads, they said they look hardly worn, believe me I've tried to wear them!!!!, so I still recommend them.

running ultimates on mine change time ill switch to green stuff

I also use Ultimates. I don't mind washing the wheels one a week, knowing the var will always stop. I understood that if ya pads aren't wearing ya discs are.

Yeah as for performance and best treatment of the rotors, you just cannot beat the greens!

I have ultimates all round on my baby...

still saving for that herrod premium brake package.....

EF_GuY uses wait for it guys, Bendix Standard all i can comment is there heaps better than the motor craft stuff. But yeah the Bendix Ultimates sound the go or the EBC Red stuff, apparently they claim to ahve to rotor wear as well as the other benefits.

Might go the EBC Red stuff for next pads.

If you really want the ultimate in pads go for Pagid blacks or blues.
The blues are a rally type pad with great performance either hot or cold.
Blacks are more a high performance road use pad.

Expensive though...

Use bendix ultimates on the Prelude and bendix standards on the EL. No real probs with either 'cept have to wash the wheels a lot. (this is no prob on the EL....)

I don't think they make Red Stuff for Falcons yet. When I investigated which ones to use, they only recommended the Green Stuff, the other colours are more for racing applications.

If i'm not mistaken, the OEM pads available from Ford are infact Bendix Blues (ie standards)

Well when i switched to the Bendix Standard over the Motorcraft stuff, i found that dust was practically none existent (heaps of brake dust when i sued the motor craft) and the brakes were defintily smoother and quieter. I think the Motorcraft ones are asbestos free, while the bendix aren't.
