Anybody use these pads?
I just picked up some organic PBR pads from Napa for the Allroad and wanted to see if anyone has used them.
Plus this forum seems dead! No one works on their brakes or Sus besides Dane.

PBR ultimates are good. I would've personally gone with a ceramic hybrid....but you must love cleaning this 135's...hehe

like dane said pbr ultimate or XGB for more performance. However, usually pads that are more for performance tend to squeak a bit.

Yeah, these were for the family car so I thought the organics might be quiet and last a bit longer. Idk much about pads

I have Akebono's, I loved the lack of brake dust until I hit that median. I'm going back to heavy dusting, strong pads. I'll either go OEM or Stoptech, probably Stoptech.

Do you really think the pad would have made a diff in your situation?

Brakes only stop the wheel. Tires stop the car. Your wreck was a hydroplane, no?Originally Posted by zhp43867

I'm partial to Performance Friction Z-Rated pads. They are a great compromise for track days and having a pad that doesn't dust like crazy on the street.

Brake pads do make a difference when it comes to locking up brakes. Some will tolerate a little bit more braking power before locking up. But yes, tires make all the difference as well.
