My manufacturer options are: Textar ($47.19), Ate($55.99), Akebono($98.99), or Ferodo($196.03). I know there's probably not much difference between the lot, but was just wondering if anyone had any horror stories with one brand or a really good experience with another. Are the Ferodos worth the $200 price tag if I only plan on doing PCA DEs once or twice?

Put Ate pads from FCP Euro on my Boxster about 2k miles ago. I use my car almost exclusively for “spirited” mountain drives and some casual autocross, no issues.
