Best OEM Replacement BRAKE PADS?
Sup guys i am getting 4 new Brembo Blank Rotors and i wanted to know what kind of brake pads i should get. I was thinking of some brands like Pagid, Mintex, PBR, etc. I want one that would be like the OEM pads with less dust, longer life, performance, and wont eat up my rotors. Thanks!

the only decent OEM pad is pagid, kinda dusty though... if you conserned with dust then an aftermarket organic pad like PBR delux is your best bet..

I switched to teh pbr organic with brembro disk and I have to say that I am quite disappointed. It does not feel like I have the proper stopping power. When these are ready to get replaced I will returm to teh stealership items.

PBR Deluxe. They bite much better than Texstar and in my opinion as well as Pagid. I have tried all three of these pads and highly favor PBR. They have never made any chatter or noises and virtually eliminate all brake dust. I can go months without cleaning my wheels and they still look brand new. I'm not exagerating at all.
