What Brake Pads Are Best For 3rd Gen AWD

[leadfoot6]

Thanks.

More excellent feedback.

The best braking I've ever experienced in a magna is in my old AWD with QFM pads all round. Think they were QFM HPX pads, or QFM HD.. whatever Mal sold me.

Anyway, they pulled that thing up on a dime.

How dusty were these?
And what was pedal feel like?

Pedal bit really hard. Hardest I've ever felt in any other magna. They were pretty touchy brakes before I changed them over though but got even more so afterwards.

Not much dust to speak of.

Excellent "on topic" feedback.

As a result of this my probable preference for pads is as follows:

1. Ferodo thermo quiet

2. QFM HPX

3. Lucas/TRW - which I have currently in my R31 Skyline f&r - no complaints except for dust after 30,000km use.

Can anyone else help add to the list for AWD specific pads?

All of the above are less than $80 per f or r set including postage, which is OK by me and what I will be aiming at price wise.

I have been advised by a few retailers that Protex rotors are quite OK for normal road use so I will probably be getting these.

Any other comments are most welcome.

My new Ferodo TQ pads have been in for 3 weeks.

I am very happy with them - see:

The brand new Protex front discs have stopped a mild case of warped discs that I had put up with for a while.
