Brake pads review and choices
Hi!
I think I have CarboTech Bobcats on my 2000 Impreza.
There works very nice, but soon go.
I am trying to make up my mind to either go to Ferodo DS2500, DS3000 or the CarboTech Panther Plus.
Is they anyone out there that have tried these brake pads that can compare them and which ones are equivalent? Example, are the DS2500 the same as Bobcats?
I have the EJ20 Type R NA engine with filter and HKS Carbon Ti. I am also riding on 205/50/15 R Toyo proxes RA1 R-Compound tires.

I recently installed Ferodo 2500s on a '00 RS with STi 4 pots. The car STOPS and stops well. Pads havent been on long enough for me to give a view on the wear life. They are noisy and the dust level isnt too bad.
I've also used Porterfields and Hawks in the past. I liked them both. All depends on your taste and how agressive a pad you like.
Good luck.

In comparison to the Ferodos
The hawk street compound pads I used were quieter but had less bite. The porterfields were a harder race compound, they had more bite, were about the same noise level and werent as hard on the rotors as I expected.
