I know this is not real exciting stuff, but I just ordered two sets of Ferodo Platinum 06-6005F brake pads from Commando Specialties on ebay for my MK III.
From what I gathered on this forum they should be pretty good pads. I was seeing a part number with a "C" at the end of it on the forum, rather than an "F", but the posts were older. Maybe the F is just newer than the C? The ad also said 39 sets had been sold, so someone must like them, and I saw no ads for the # with the C. Hopefully that will be good?
EBC looked good too, but it seemed there was a slight preference for the Ferodos, and if they are a little better, that will justify the additional cost.
The PO of my bike said he soaked the pads which are on it now, in solvent overnight, a couple of times a year, which supposedly made them better, but, he said, they never work very well. I have never heard of that, and am not even thinking of trying it! Buying quality pads seemed like a much better idea to me, lol!
The stock master cyl. has been upgraded and I have the braided stainless lines with stock calipers and rotors, even dot-4 silicone fluid, but it doesn't stop well at all. Hopefully these Ferodos will make the difference! It does seem like a good plan for now!
