Default black diamond pads

Has anyone used black diamond predator pads with standard disks? Im not interested in track use or anything just normal and sometimes spirited road use. They are only £45 a pair from scoobyworld.

No dont seem to be, certainly not as dusty as the EBC redstuff ones which were fitted before.

i have them on my 93wrx with standard discs and they are dusty compared to standard also seem to be noisey at times (perhaps it's the construction of the pad?) but are perfectly fine.

I'm using late model 4 pots.

I have the BD FT pads, (cant tell you about the dust as my wheels are graphite) and they are awesome. Might take them off soon to have a check for wear but so far so good!

Default Black Diamond Pads

Fitted a set of front BD pads (standard BD pads not the FT ones) to my MY2004 WRX with the standard disks. Seem to be at least as good as the standard OEM pads and a lot cheaper. Haven't noticed any more dust than normal. However, BD pads are supplied without the shims etc that come in the box with the OEM pads so you will need to re-use the old parts.
