Default 60-0 Braking distance oem vs aftermarket pads / rotors?

Anyone have any feedback on the braking distance with oem and aftermarket pads / rotors?

also with repeated braking, any fading ?

Braking distance between pads are the same, the tires will determine the braking distance since tire to ground friction > pad to rotor friction.

If you need reviews on brake fade of the pads then you need to read the reviews on other websites/forums.. their reviews are applicable.

Good quesiton. On a side note has anyone compared OEM Brembo Pads to the Ferodos DS2500 brake pads when it comes to breaking distance??

^^^^I have had them both. I never compared the braking distance, but, IMHO, the DS2500 outshines the stock pads in every respect.

While bedding the pads I build up a lot of heat, there was never a sign of fad, or hard pedal. In normal driving the feel is far superior to the Brembo Pad and somehow I feel more secure with these. I have nothing but Good Things to say about the Ferodo Pads. I luv 'em.

I doubt there will be any measurable difference in shorter stopping distance.. The fade resistance will be the biggest area of improvement...you will maintain the stoping distance more consistant as things start to heat up on the track.
