Front Brake Pads for 172???

[hkka]

Sorry to bring this up again. What is the best pad for 172?
I am using Ferodo (have no idea which series it is in) which is from the previous owner which is good I think. But want to see some other brands.

EBC Green Stuffs? Or EBC Yellow Stuffs? Ferodo DS2500??? Mintex C-Tech M1144??

BTW, the Ferodo I am having do have quite a lot of brake dust. It is hard to judge, good brake usually has more dust

I've used EBC greens before on th road and they have been good....probably not good enough for track use though.....Ferodo, Pagid or Mintex probably better for that kind of driving.

Ferodo DS2500's are superb. Had mine on for a while now and they still have loads of life left in them. Not bad when cold and awesome when hot.

Get goodridge lines aswell and it'll be spot on.
