Re: Re: OEM Brake Pads. Where?
Quote:
Or maybe they were really good back then but, like so many other things in life, have gradually declined in quality over the years.  My only regret is that I can't buy genuine Mopar brake pads for my SVX because, as we all know, Mopar rules!!!!  < hey! what happened to my dang windshield wipers??!!??! >

[B] What was it in the message archive that convinced you that OEM pads were the way to go? About 2 months ago, I replaced my OEM brake pads with Axxis Deluxe Plus organic pads (as well as having the rotors turned), and I was astounded at the improvement in braking performance. I've done the same; mine are organic pads and seem to be much better than the OEM, especially if you like progressive feel to the pedal. FWIW, bill
