Bestop is just an entry level performance brake pad. Don't be fool with the entry level tag. It perform well beyond that. Price wise, it is the most expensive among all entry level brake pads. Ebc green stuff is at RM200-240 i think. Cant remember. G5 M-tech pads are at the rear. Cost me just RM90. Project Mu Bestop front set, freaking RM300.
Dust level is very low comparing to my previous AXT brake pads. Up till now,after almost 500km the brake dust is not visible at all. AXT is a different story. Definately changed of color just after a spin out. AXT is an abbrasive type. Does has the grip, but with some screcthing sound sometimes. On the bright side, AXT lasted for more than 50,000km. That's with 2 track day session mind you. I'm the living proof.
Looking at Project-Mu Bestop (PMB), it does bring out your rice boy look. Bright green hiding behind the caliper. These pads do not need any warm up to get the grip. Straight away it have the grip.
"One of the few aftermarket brake pads that can stop the car in cold braking conditions such as starting engine after car is parked overnight when the engine is being warmed as car is leaving the car park. " - pitstop.oneshift.com
Hard braking is very significant. Pairing PMB with Pro RS steel braided brake hoses make a whole world of different. You can shed off at least 1-2 seconds from your 100 to 0 braking. That is a lot of different. Cornering braking is just a small improvement over AXT so far. At this point, the brake hose is the one that comes into play.
Have to try it on the next track day session, hopefully. All the review just based on my experience. No professional review. Just my 2 cent.
