What's good, and not so good, in brake pads these days?

[nthach]

These good years are made in Virginia for what it’s worth. Not Ebc bite but dead silent, and 500 miles later, no dust. I did get them red hot on my brembo rotors since they weren’t new to bed them in. I just did a panic stop @80 to test them out and no wobble what so ever. Probably a testament to the rotors more than the pads.

FDP friction also makes friction in China. They are the supplier for AAP’s Carquest Red pads. Wouldn’t be shocked if regular Duralast and BrakeBest are made by them but with a different edge code.
