Default Brake pads...

I know the F oem are ~$500...seems crazy

anybody run these? centric oem compound

they make a semi-metallic

these are usually harder on the rotors, but less dust...I don't care about dust..I'd rather clean the wheels than buy 2k worth of rotors annually

my concern is cold bite, rotor wear, not ultimate high temp performance...ie, these are for daily street use and commuting...

Cheeper here:

I just ordered some myself, should have them on later this week and I will let you know what I think. I believe some others on here use these as well. Pretty good feedback on them so far. Search "brakes" and you should come up with some other folks thoughts on them.

thnx

I read most reviews on the centric semi-metallic...but saw none on the oem equvilent...

the semi's are hard on the rotors...although the oem = are twice as much I may try them...

oh yea, I've bought stuff from Dave Z, he's very knowledegable and a nice guy..
