Just had PBR pads installed.... Blah, quite spongy.
 

I'm hoping they will break in and perform a little better once the entire pad makes contact with the disc.

I think I'll just give up on searching for good pads. I've tried 6 different brands now, none worth buying again.

Hm, maybe it is a time to get BigRed brakes?

I can't justify putting upgrades into these cars... That would be $2k with wheels. Car is worth $8k?
 

Would rather put it towards an S4/S6... or whatever I get next.

What happpened to putting the Porterfields on?

Read bad reviews. Didn't want to take the chance of getting pads that needed to heat up to stop well
 

Since I do 100% city driving now, no major braking to really heat them up.

Yeah that would be a small problem
 

out of all the pads you've used, there must be one that you would recommend all around.

Oh, what was the place you got the Zimmermans from? I'm due to do my brakes soon and I'm looking for a good set of slotted rotors.

Sorry to steer you in the wrong direction. I'm pretty happy with the PBR's though.
 

Question: how can the pads the "spongy"? Just not stopping as well as you'd like?
