hi anyone using this brake pad??

hear tt is quite dusty... how is the perfomance? durable?

coz my mech told me my brake pad only left 30% like tt only

Its entry level pads for their street application range. Definitely better than stock or other OEM brands in terms of bite. You need not worry about performance with Ferodo pads, only problem is whether you want more or less bite (diff types). It will definitely dust and it just means that its providing the friction and your disc are not suffering the accelerated wear (unlike harder pads that dun dust as much).

 

If you have a choice with the higher grade Premier range, I suggest you go for it. Thats one of the best street application pads around but will be at a slight premium over the Zero range.

Ferodo vs Proj Mu ... which wud b a better choice? considering both ard similar price? stock disc can compliment it rite? or wud it b better to change it wif brembo max?

Brakes work on the principle of friction.

 

Better braking = higher friction = higher wear (either pads or rotor).

 

The rule of thumb is 2-3sets of brake pads for each change of rotors. How often do you use up 2-3sets of brake pads? On average, about 70,000-100,000km you will need to change rotors. You decide if you want to save for the future or pay for something that can save you potential headaches and possibly injuries. Bear in mind that the wear rate of the pads and rotors are dependant on how the driver drives.

Cant tell which is a better choice as both are good brands. Its like Michelin vs Bridgstone. If you get the street application range, stock disc no prob. Brembo Max is not exactly performance disc, just slotted. Original disc are generally better than OEM replacement, though some may disagree. If you are concerned, you can consider the Brembo High Carbon disc (no slot) but they are not cheap and not commonly available. Meant to complement high temp pads and resist warping.
