what type of brake pads does everyone recommend? as the ones on now squeal an awful lot

In my previous car (not saying what....!!!!) I used soft Bendix pads. They don't lock easily and don't wear out the disk and stop the car very efficiently. Creates more dust due to higher wear. How many km? Wwoh, depends on how you hammer - 30-50 k (???)
Hard, metallic pads last longer and on non ABS cars they tend to be on/off kinda function, not much feel and so on. Hate them! But obviously they last longer and so on.
Bendix's are also much dearer....

thanks killer, i need somthing thats going to last a fair while. dont have abs either.

brake pads are one of the cheapest items to replace in the car. i am using ferodo (which is cheap and widely available) but i am told bendix perform better for slightly more $$$.

I've heard that Bendix pads get a lot of brake dust??

Yes Yes They do!!!

My Shadow chrome rims are usually BLACK!! lol

do ferodo's squeal much?

My mates dad swears by Ferodo, I havent heard anyone complain about them, but I've never been in a car with them..so I dunno for sure.

what price am i looking at?

Cheapos start form 15 bux a pack. Bendix can go close to 100. Check with your local car dude.
Dust? Yepp......
But I still prefer the performance. I will change mine to Bendix later on, it's still reasonably new car with me and pads are ok.

i wanted to get bendix but they were out so i just got bosch,
they cost $65. and they leave a whole lot of dust but they break really good.
squeak. yep they do but i didnt get my brakes machined i just changed the pads so dunno bout that part.

Lucas works well for me
they make the pads for porche too, so they ain't bad.
more dust, but not too bad

Yeah, I like Lucas pads. They can put up with my braking at a race track although they wore out really fast at that temperature.
