Pagid E1 blacks

[Pat]

A couple of you are confusing the two different compounds of Pagid Blacks. There is a street compound and a race compound. If you use the wrong one for the wrong application, you'd know right away.
The Blacks the shop recommended are great street pads. They are similar to OEM. The best high-performance street pad I've used are the Pagid Blues, which are just a step more aggressive than the street-oriented Blacks.

I replaced my front pads yesterday when i finished up my eibach and new strut install and i wasnt sure weather they are good or not because of the price....

When the shop i was at called there supplier, we were quoted $60 and some change for Pagid blacks and $90 and some change for OE front pads. I dont know what front pads i had just before replacing them but they sure did make alot of dust and didnt stop very well... The pagid black seems to grip better than the pads i had prior... Ill have to see if they make more dust that my previous dust makers.

EDIT: turns out i heard wrong, th pads i got for the front are not Pagid... they are Bendix... i think pagid is probably a higher quality and/or price than what i've gotten but they sure are better than whatever the heck else was on my car prior to changing them.
