Hey all...

I recently upgraded my '95 M900 to the old-school Brembo full-floating iron rotors and the Galfer greens in the single-pin stock calipers ain't cuttin' the mustard.

Speeddog recommended the Ferodo Platinums as he used them on his full-floating iron Brake-Tech Axis rotors.

Anyone else have any FHE to add?

FHE, SL ff cast iron w EBC HH in 1-pin gold 4piston:
Marvellous, progressive & really bites when you want to.
My favourite combination so far.

I use the CP211 carbon/ceramic pads on BrakeTech ductile iron.

These pads don't have the big hit when you first grab them like the OEM HH pads, but they get progressively very powerful with great feedback.

+1 on the CP211s, though when I bought them for a four pad setup, there was a very limited supply on the West Coast.  They are very progressive with great feedback, but if it's initial bite you want, these won't pass muster.

I have the Ferodo sinterGrip paired with BrakeTech axis iron rotors.  They have a good initial bite and plenty of stopping power.

But some iron rotors aren't suppose to be paired with sintered metal pads, though BrakeTech says they are fine on theirs.  I'll probably try the CP211 next time though.
