Been reading some reviews on the PFC pads and the EBC Blue NDX and sounds like the NDX gets the thumbs up in terms of road driving whether it be from cold or after the occasional heavy braking. Bugger to find though!!

Are the Performance Friction spot on when cold? In the same boat as the OP on this and looking to change.

My car came with blue stuff fitted (AP brakes) there was no feel to the brakes very wooden, they were either off or on no modulation at all (locked up for fun, no abs) only saving grace slightly better than the pf08s I have now from cold. However a couple of presses of the pedal and PFs are in a different stratosphere of braking lol

Any brake pad that says 'track or street/track day use' will be rubbish for everyday use.They will never get to temperature by driving on normal roads unless you drive everywhere at 100+ mph and stamp on the anchors as hard as you can every 30 seconds.

Orite buddy!!!

I used to had the CL5 pads amazing pad but under slow braking they are the noisiest pads ever!! So switched to the PFC pads that were supplied by AS performance and these are a great pad no noise under low braking and work really well when a little heat is in them!
