Brake pads Hella Pagid or GALFER

GALFER Brake pads

I just installed Galfer HH sintered pads and they’ve been solid so far. Definitely an improvement from stock but they were getting pretty worn down

Pros: solid performance, improvement from stock

Hella Pagid Brake pads

Rating 3.0

You will need brake cooling/ducts or will need to remove the dust shield to get more airflow (or both), went through a brand new set of rear Pagid RS29 endurance pads in less than a weekend in July when I first got the first F80 years ago. The heat did a number on them in the afternoons with ambient temps over 90 and all the 150ish to 40ish and 130ish to 30ish on the back and front straights respectively

Cons: heat did a number
Vehicle: BMW
