Best pads for slider calipers?

[67Charger]

What is the go-to pad for getting the best braking out of 11" slider-type disc brakes? ...or is it just "press harder and change more often"?

Like anything else, you get what you pay for.

Avoid riveted pads, like the plague! Stick with good name brands, and seems most places offer up to four different grades (pad materials), so get the best you can.

While back, the wife had a Suburban, that rolled over 100,000 miles. Since the brakes had never been touched, I 'knew' they probably needed to be replaced. So, took it to a shop. Soon as I got back home, they called, saying it was ready...said nothing was needed, looked like the brakes were put on yesterday.

Ceramic pads are available for slider calipers.

That's state of the art tech.

The VERY VERY best is N.O.S. ++ Asbestos ++ Pads ---- which must be found -- as they are NO LONGER AVAILABLE through regular channels.....
Fortunately for all of us, I have been "hunting them down" for years -- and I Have them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will send you a P.M. next......

EBC makes some pads, just not sure what the part numbers are.

The key word in 5.7's statement is "makes" -- and whether they "make" it -- or buy from a company who "makes" it ---- the key is
that it is current "makes" and by definition and the current laws, it is this new - fangled garbage......
Only N.O.S. ++ Asbestos ++ is N.O.S. ++ Asbestos ........... there is NO "sugar - coating" it.... ONLY N.O.S. ++ Asbestos ++ is the best, period.....
