Ferrodo Might Not Agree Hanky Purple Widget 27

OK now that i have your attention ive fitted some ferrodo's 4000s (i think) to the front of my gtst and they are hopeless.

I've lost a ton of braking power and they just dont seem to pull the car up at all.

The guy at repco said they are dustless and wont make the wheels look poo and preform really well.

After bedding them in and following the proper procedure they seem to just skate across the disc itself instead of biting hard.

When i washed the car the rotors turned a urine yellow colour which looks like its from the pads and the dust.

The wheels also look horrible even just after like 2 weeks of the new pads.

Has anyone used these ferrodos and found them to be poo ?

you fail at teh humour.

can't help you with the brake pads either dude.

Atleast you dont have bendex ultimates, my wheels are black after cleaning them 1 hr before!

I run the DS2500's and find them very grabby and noisy on cold but awesome once they have some heat in them.

I think Danrex upgraded to these, maybe check with him (could be wrong).

Did you upgrade the rotors too or just the pads?

[paulr33]

nah just pads

got the same dba 4000's from ages ago on the front

i used to used freddo ages ago in my previous car and ye agree worst pads EVER. i use Bendix ultimates after that and they are awesome. think they go for $120 for fronts and $90 for the rears and they work a treat. putting them in my skyline next week.

There's plenty of talk about ultimates eating rotors though, anyone found that to be true?

i've just put rb74 in the front and C2 (i think?) on the rears. never had any different to OEM but they are good enough for the mo. havent had a chance to give them a thrash yet. will get back with results

the last time I changed brake pads was my last car lol to some $13 nBrake shit, worked pretty well though especially for $13 a pair hahaha (wholesaler/importer is a client)
