Owner reviews for brake pads

You will need good 9.4" vented rotors & good pads like Ferodo, Pagid or Jurid.

The brake feel is linear and pedal feel is good, as well as for the go-pedal.

i have the front upgrade with hawk pads all the way around, and that is all you really need for greatly increased stopping power

If you can deal with the dust get the Ferodos. They stop like hell. If dust is a problem go with the Hawks.

I've got the Carbotec bobcats, They are a nice pad.

I forgot to mention that the Corrado has had the oil and filter changed within the last 300 miles, the brake pads have plenty of pad life, and the tires are in decent shape.

Replaced the rear Brake Pads and Rotors on my 2005 V8 this morning. Turned out to be a pretty easy, straight forward job. 30-45 min. per side.

My 2001.5 GLS V6 5-speed needs new rotors and pads. I purchased 4 Meyle rotors (fronts and rears) and Mintex pads.

I found a nominal improvement in braking power and feel with the 12.3". But as NOVAdub stated, the biggest impact was on repeatability.

Mintex Red Box pads are crap - the company changed hands a few years ago and quality has sucked since with some folks experiencing large chunks of pad material just falling away.
