Default Looking to change REAR pads... any recommendation?
generally speaking, I think ECS tuning has a few choices.
I would need some feedback on these products...

Hawk Performance pads
Mintex Red Box Pads
PBR Ceramic Pads
PBR/Axxix deluxe brake pads

All these pads range from $60 to $35...
What would you choose and why?
I really need to change my rear before they start chewing up on the rotors.
Thanks.

Hawk HPS are good street pads.

Default thanks for your opinions, but I'm still a little confused.
might have to randomly pick one.
btw, what are Ferodo 2500s and how much are they for the rear.

And what is compatible with stock front pads.

I would not use any of the listed. Stock is a really good all around pad.

Default What's the application?
For the street, any of those would work.
Also check into the Carbotech Bobcats.
A bit pricier but offers a bit more fade resistance than some of the others, if you plan on tracking the car.
