[s-cars] brake shudder

[Taka Mizutani]

Guys-
What is a suitable pad for a big heavy car that's running big brakes? I'm
hoping to avoid buying super dusty OE pads or OE-like, such as the Porsche
Textars and the Volvo ATE/Textar pads.

My brakes are the same as those on an Evo, STi, 350Z Track, G35 Coupe w/
Brembos and I think the Camaro and 1st gen CTS-V use the same pads as well,
possibly the Jaguar XKR as well.

Same advice would apply to the UrS, C5s, C6s, D2s and D3s, I would think.

Taka
