these get a fantastic write up on the MLR, reasonably priced compared to the ferodo DS2500/3000's too

I have Pf pads on the Evo...they seem very good, but noisy and makes lots of dust!! which is annoying trying to keep wheels clean

but they do stop the car very well, even with standard sized discs .

If you want to stop you will

a) need to eat discs
b) put up with dust/noise
c) be prepared to pay

If you want to polish your wheels and go all bufty you will soon end up with either barrier rash or gravel rash.

If I take my car to a show it does not go on the same wheels as it goes out in competition on !!
