Brake pads POWER STOP or Ferodo

OK, just giving an update. I am really enjoying these breaks. I think they are a lot better than my first assumption of 30%. I was just in a quick stop situation and they are very good

For generic JDM/American cars, we install Power stop. Parts House has good wholesale pricing on them, and 0 comebacks.

In my personal vehicles I like to use Powerstop. No noise, pulsation, low dust, ok pedal feel.

Just installed the powerstops yesterday. Did the break in, and they feel much better than the basics i had on. You can feel the stopping power by i would say 30% more than just regular rotors and pads.

I installed power stop brakes a year ago. I have a 2004 V6, with the smaller caliper. The power stop is a huge upgrade. Been off-road with them, downhill coming from lake Tahoe with my family of 5 and full load, towed a few thousand lbs to the dump, brakes did great. I swapped because my rotors always warped, after 3 full rotor changes I had enough.

Power stops are great I’m about to get some for my Ulti that fit with my brembo calipers

I'm running Ferodo DS 1.11. and they're fine on the streets even during winters when it gets even as cold as -25C

Had em on my LS430, brake feel better, definitely a bit more noticeable bite

Recently completed my HPDE and by the end of the day my stock pads were completely gone. Got my front rotors and all my pads replaced soon after that. I went for the Ferodo DS2500 pads. While bedding my pads, I noticed the brake feeling/bite is quite nice when braking at around 50-60% pressure, but once I tried emulating track style braking (i.e hitting brake pedal very hard) I noticed that my brake pedal was vibrating/rattling and also felt some sort of scraping was going on. This would happen even when hitting brakes hard from low speeds of ~30 mph. It's felt entirely on the front brakes. ABS did not engage, so I don't think the vibrations are from that. The obvious visible difference I see is the use of high temp brake lube from the shop.

I have them and haven't seen any improvement in braking. They're also very noisy.
