i switched from Daishin to GIC - it wuking real good, ent going back Daishin

there is also ACCO

this is a very soft disc pad so it stops the car extremely well IMHO, having used it

but because of being soft it produces a tremendous amount of brake dust - totally blackens your rims, which is why i had to get rid of them

I'm looking for brake pads as well. But, I don't want any kinda cheap stuff. Venum, can you tell us more about the GIC?

its an Italian brand pad, kinda aggresive on stock rotors meaning they eat them when used hard but work well

Hmmm...

When you talk about used hard, are you referring to driving like in Solodex? I don't have much need for excessive braking, just the occasional hard stops due to traffic lights or bad driving.

nah not even professional competition, just alot of spirited driving with hard braking would make the GIC eat rotors
For what u describe, the GIC would work well for u or even National I have found to be not as aggresive but just as big a bite as them
btw, GIC's are no longer being imported by FT Farfan so there are limited quantities available on the market

Its for OEM on a laser .... I used the Silver brand before....used Daishin this time but they smelt after first drive.. The Daishin claims to be Made in China ... not sure where the Silver is made (Mexico I think)

I had to change recently, switched to Titanium. Also had to change rotors as well.

Its a semi metallic pad, kinda soft, stopping power is excellent - real smooth stop.

Its squeaks slightly until it heats up, then no noise and little or no brake dust too.
