Brake Pad Choices?

[BBLR3]

BBLR3, how do you like your ISF? It's on my list of cars to look at along with the newer 5.0 range sport.

Love it. I only wish it had a six speed. Other than that, no issues with it. It feels really really low after driving the LR3 around for a couple of weeks. Takes a bit of getting used to again.

I have the greenstuff and dont see too much difference over stock. The yellowstuff is more heavy-duty which i'll try next

Thanks
Looks like they are semi metallic and the fronts are $70. I would go with the OEM Ferodo pads which are about $20 more than PepBoys.

It depends on if Pep boys lives up the warranty claim. I was told to just bring in the old set and they would swap them for new. If that is true then every couple of years you will save $130.

Please post back on cost and lead time to get your cores lined with 1521.

I should have the pads late next week. I hope to put them on that weekend if I have time. I'll give feedback after I bed them in.

I have akenono's on the rear. No dust, but hard to tell how much stopping power I lost. However, I am so sick of the brake dust on the fronts that I will sacrifice a little performance for cleaner wheels. Really, the front wheels get dirty before anything else. So looking forward to some results in this thread.

J.D.

I got the pads yesterday. I'm heading to NC until Sunday so I wont be able to put them on until I get back. I'll report back after I bed them in.

 

[BBLR3]

just did the front brakes with new rotors and pads. bed them as instructed and letting them cool right now. I had to replace the pad sensor, but the check brake pads light is still on. Does something need to be reset after installing the new sensor?

Thanks.

 

[kingfishgrapeja]

no the light should go off by itself. Are you sure your rears aren't due as well?

 

[BBLR3]

yeah, thats it. need another set of pads and a sensor
