Performance Friction brake pads (carbon metallics)
just wondering if any of you have a personal(or close) experience with carbon metallics pads.
i am mainly concerned with the "dusting" issue as i have white wheels. in my oppinion, the pads are oem quality, if not slightly better.
the price on them is great and they have a lifetime warranty (when they wear out, take em back, you get a new set)

i have some carbon metallic pads, but i do have gunmetal rims too, but compared to the OEM ones, they do dust a lot less i think. but they kinda squeek, not that i give a shit, cause now i can stop alot better
if you dont have them i do recommend them, personally my friends have had all bad experiances with (Red stuff adn green stuff) so be careful with those.

i am getting them from autozone. i worked at autozone back home and from wut i've seen, they are nice pads. i just cant pay for 80bucks for brembo sport pads for front axle only haha.
i guess i will see how they turn out.

Hey Tekwon, i got a set of used Panther Plus pads, VERY good pads and usable on the street if you dont mind some squeeking and dusting. They should fit your calipers. 10 bucks and you can take them.

antihero, if you are asking me... i had honda oem pads before.... which were the originial equipment. lasted/lasting almost 55k miles. woo hoo! hahaha with 10 auto-x's or so....
i got the pads today, and will prolly be installing them this wknd. guess i will see how these turn out. i am sure they will be just as good as oem pads.
