Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

I ran EBC REDs for both street and AX on my 04 S and really liked them.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I’m replacing my brake pads (currently oem, I think) naturally I want it all. low noise, low dust, & hyper fast braking power even at higher temperatures. This will be street only, no track use. I’ve spent days trying to compare the various options out there, definitely going with ceramic for low dust factor. Friction ratings of some recommended pads I’ve found on internet (feel free to correct or add if you know better) Mintex red box = EE rated (.25-.35) EBC red stuff = average friction rating .5 (G) couldn’t find temperature info Hawk HPS 5.0 = .4-.35 (FF) Akebono euro ultra premium = GG (.45-.55) PMB-C = GG (.45-.55) I had never heard of the PMB-C pads til I saw them on pelican. For the cost $160 all 4 wheels they seem like a great deal with the akebono’s close behind @$250 for all 4 wheels. Anyone have any experience with the PMB’s or can recommend a better option? It’s a 2004 S.

I ran EBC REDs for both street and AX on my 04 S and really liked them. They are also reasonable for lighter track use
