Rating 4.0

I run pagid rsl29 (yellow) and i have been a big fan -- but it seems like you either love them or hate them, no in between.I still have over 75% brake pad left after 11 days on track-- with that said, factory brake cooling is pretty good on my car's front brakes (M2 Competition). I think most folks whom have issues have inadequate cooling which leads to very high temps, which the rsl29 do not like

Pros: long lasting
Cons: high temps
Vehicle: BMW M2

Rating 4.5

I put ATE on my 335is a year ago and am very happy with them. Almost no dust and good stopping power. When they were new, the initial bite was a bit weak, but that went away after break in.

Pros: almost no dust, good stopping power
Cons: weak initial bite

I have Pagid RSL29 pads and ATE 200 fluid on Hankook RS4s -- I don't worry too much about brake fade unless it's peak Texas summer heat, in which case I'm managing engine and tire temperature with cool down laps anyway.

Pros: no brake fade
Cons: fade in extreme heat

ATE Brake pads

For normal use, I recommend ceramic pads like ATE Ceramic, EBC green/red stuff or TRW D-TEC, since they're lower dust, and lower heat. Otherwise, go with Ferodo Premier eco friciton.

Pros: lower dust, lower heat
