Hey guys

Looking to find someone opinions on ADB brake pads. I can't find a lot on them and I'm pretty skint this month, both cars need brake jobs done and I don't fancy having to borrow money from friends or family.

-I know about Bosch, Bendix, etc.

-I am chasing opinions from people that have used these pads

-If it comes back they're shithouse I'll probably just buy Bendix ultra premiums. Just looking to save a buck here.

So, has anyone used them? If so, was there anything that really struck you as crap about them? ie hard wearing on the rotors, dust, etc.

Cheers

A

Never heard of them

However... one of the pics shows a Calibre brand box... supercheaps home brand

When you look at the Calibre box it has FMP on it

FMP is Bendix

How broke are you? If ultra desperate in the bad old days I would scout the pick a part yard for a set of lightly used pads. Take the lip off your discs with file and good to go.
Total cost bugger all.

I did that once, but that was because the brakes were metal to metal and I was getting the last parts for a brake conversion the following week.
