These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

9 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hey all I'm looking to do my rear pads, previous owner did the fronts just before i bought the car not to long ago. I want to buy off FCP Euro since they have lifetime warrantee and i just ship back the old pads once their shot and get a new set for free I don't plan on tracking the car anytime soon but I do like to drive spiritedly on the road. My manufacturer options are: Textar ($47.19), Ate($55.99), Akebono($98.99), or Ferodo($196.03). I know there's probably not much difference between the lot, but was just wondering if anyone had any horror stories with one brand or a really good experience with another. Are the Ferodos worth the $200 price tag if I only plan on doing PCA DEs once or twice?

Put Ate pads from FCP Euro on my Boxster about 2k miles ago. I use my car almost exclusively for “spirited” mountain drives and some casual autocross, no issues.

POST 3Original post

For spirited street and even some AX, look art PowerStop ceramics. Low cost and work great

I'm with Jay. I have them on all 4 along with the drilled slotted rotors, I couldn't be happier. Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk

POST 5Original post

If you're only doing rears, you should try to match up with what's on the front. You defn don't want to put ceramic on the rears and have std material fronts. Different characteristics between the two materials and will give quite different results in the cold, heat, and rain. If you want to go ceramic, either wait until you can do all four corners or do all 4 corners now.

Both front and rear Powerstop pads together probably cost less that a single axel of factory pads

I'm not sure what brand is on the front but I know that they are ceramics.

POST 8Original post

I'm a big fan of Akebono pads.
