Just wanted to see if anyone's replaced pads on their JCW with anything besides what's been mentioned. I'm in need in a new set of rears and seeing what's out there

 

One thing to mention about running track pads on the street, in addition to being noisy and dusty, if the pad isn't up to it's designed operating temp it is not very kind to the rotor. So....don't do it.

Anyway, I've always been a fan of Ferodo DS2500 as an aggressive street pad. Some dust, but quiet and they can take a little heat. On the cheap the Stoptech pads are fine. Those are the only 2 street pads I'll really bother with at this point but that's my preference.

For the track I like PFC, Hawk DTC series, and Pagid.

I had carbotech bobcats on my R53 and did not like the way they felt. The pedal did nto feel as firm as with the stock pads. So far I really like the JCW brakes on my new car.

 

I just put some EBC Yellowstuff pads on the front. They're still bedding in still so I can't comment on how they work, though no noise. The pads are destined to be track pads.

 

We have both the EBC Redstuff and Yellowstuff available for the JCW Brembos. Response from customers has been great, no complaints.
