Brake pads, what do you guys use for street use?...

[bonaturtle]

My brake pad sensor is coming on every once in a while, so I figure I should replace them soon.

Any suggestions for everyday use?

I used to use Matrix Metalmasters.

I think, yoiu mean Axxis metalmasters. They are a nice cheap street pad, They do like a little heat to get full grip, but very low dust makes up for that.

Well, I've driven early, light cars with Ferados and liked them. I've used them hard in the twisties and had no problems.

I had a front early lock-up till I switched to Axxis soft. They don't need any heating. I'm mostly on Hy's.

yup, right here

Axxis ( formerly Repco) Metalmasters or even the less aggressive and more rotor friendly "Deluxe" ( more organic..less "metal") can work well for street use. Also very low dust...as Bill V mentions....

PBR is the same pad as the Axxis metalmaster and Repco Metal master under a different name.

Axxis has a newer ceramic based compound pad which is supposed to be even better, But I have no experience w/ it.

+1 for the metalmasters.

PBR's work for me! no squeaks, very little dust.

PBR Ultimates (ceramic) for the street and track. Never had any issues, and great on rotors.
