Ferrodo pads are sold by alot of parts house chains as their house brand. (Advance Auto for one) The are not a performance pad. They do offer long life and very little dust, but again are NOT a performance pad and do not hold up well to repeated or fast stops (I.E. they fade bad like the stock pads do)
They in no way hold a candle to the Metal Master or Mintex pads. Yes I have used all three. Bendix Titaniums are even a better performance pad...
