brake comparisons

I'm in need of some new front break pads. I'd like to get just street use ones, no need for track ones yet. As of right now, I've read a lot of the forums and have seen that the Carbotech bobcats are great, not only in braking, but low dusting too.

Thing is, I haven't seen much about Project Mu or Endless pads. Straight off of Endless' site, you can get them for $119.00. I've heard that Endless is a great company, and is it worth paying just those extra $20? Also, Project Mu pads are actually cheaper than the bobcats off of subydude's site. Only $4 cheaper, but is this a better buy? I'd like to hear your pros and cons for each one, as I'd like to find the best buy for the money. Hopefully this thread will help more than just me. TIA

Endless is a great brand name, but before you buy them make sure you're getting the compound that you need.

You can't go wrongwith Project Mu either. Most Japanese Sport Car Teams use either Project Mu or Endless for their performance brakes (calipers rotors and pads).

I would go with Mu over Bobcat.

Can anyone compare Carbotech bobcats vs Project mu B-Force? They're similar in price, and I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience w/ the B-Forces since I think many people run the bobcats.

The B-force are more for track driving, but if you are mainly doing street driving you need to go with the Project Mu NS pads.

I just put on PBR Metal Masters in the front and they are an excellent change over stock. My '02 OBS never braked better. I got them from RalliTek's website. Very nice pads. Brian
