brake pad brands?

Give your brake system a brake fluid flush first, or at least bleed the system. Spongy feel at the pedals should be be brake pads problems.
EBC pads have black, green, red, yellow and blue.
Black are normal pads. The better ones are green with better brake feel. Red for higher temperature use, yellow even higher and blue for endurance (if not mistaken)
But the pads are not cheap. Green ones around RM350 for my Mitsu twin pot, yellow ones RM550, these are the two I asked before....

Yes, I already did brake fluid change but still no improvement. Front pads are still quite thick but rear ones only about 30% left. But I did notice before I bought my Mark X, the others that I test driven also got even worse brakes than mine except for one which was 1 year newer than mine. Thinking to upgrade my brake system later on with better pads or even bigger discs & calipers and better brake lines.

How about EBC pads?
Sorry to piggyback on the tread though, cuz my car's break is also sucky, feels very soft & mushy on the pedals.

EBC Black Ultimax is very good for street driving, but so much more dusty than stock brake pads. They claim its low dust, low dust my ass. Gold rims 2 weeks will become bronze rims. 2 months it will become black.

I am using Sumitomo now. Wanted to use Akebono..but I bought wrong size.. LOL.. so now I got spare 1 set Akebono for non-B16 ek/eg.

Hahaha, then could be good for those who want to darkened their rims without repainting it!

Be careful, heard Akebono got imitation.....

The Trestor Blue advantage that I am using is worse. In one week, silver rims are black, but damn good bite.....ha! ha! so wash weekly loh....cannot be helped.....

Used them before, same brake dust & performance as the previous ones I had on (cant remember what they were). Noting special really.

Can you pls recommend a good brand?

Anything better than JURID ?

Check whether Trestor Blue Advantage have for your ride. Since you mention don't mind the dust, but mind you this brakes dust like mad, but very good bite.....
