[s-cars] Brake Pad Choice for G60

[tony.curran at sympatico.ca]

Sean,

I've just fitted PBR Metal Master pads (with sensor wires tho disconnected) with ECS slotted rotors. So far so good but have less than 1000kms on them. Noticebly better braking when called upon to brake hard tho have only done it once. Have SS brake hoses.

Also a lot less brake dust.
