Brake Pads

[OhSnapWord]

On my car, I'm running Cobras up front. I'm using Autozone's Duralast C-Max pads and am disappointed in their performance.

I'm looking for a pad with a good bite and won't fade easily. What do you guys recommend?

that's what i'm using. cold bite is lacking, but ceramics need to warmed up. after they are warm i have no trouble bringing ABS intervention at any time.

you probably will need to look into a semi metallic. they have much more cold bite.

Try a high performance brand if you want high performance results.

I'm not looking for high performance per se. I want a good pad for street driving.

could always go with the stock ford pad used on the cobras.

Im running Hawk pad in my CTS-V. Never had the brake fabe in the V. The brakes do get cold in the rain.

I worked for Advance for a while and currently have Bendix products on both cars. The DD got the Bendix Metallic MKD series, and the Whiner got the CT series of Ceramics. I think you will find either to be very acceptable in performance, and easy on the pocket book.

The instant my brakes get a little wet, braking performance plummets.

For what you're wanting out of them, I think the Porterfield R4-S pads would be the best fit.

Yes, I've run the R4-S pads on two cars now and liked them alot. Especially once warmed up they are amazing then, and good all around.
