Don't go for ferodo, it is very low dust and protect your rotor very well, but it almost have no grip at all once the pad is at higher temperature

Brembo is slightly better than ori brake pad, but don't expect it perform like the high end brembo pad, for normal driving is ok but not for extreme use, even during genting downhill can feel the pad performance degrade once it heat up

You can try look for Remsa pad, previously I use that and it is quiet good in stopping power

Ebc green and black is not that expensive compared to red and yellow

For my Mazda 3 2014 I can get ebc green or black at price cheaper than or close to price of ori pad from sc

Brembo is close to double to the ones I've listed
Only planning to use the car for a year

Best is always Ori, even if same brand, the formulation is different
EBC's are kinda on the expensive side as well. Rather get OEM Jurid/Textar at that price
*
Ori is not the best, it is just made to be enough for daily usage, unless you are buying a race/sport car
And of course ori is not enough for my usage since I go to track and auto cross

It seems like you already have your answer, if you want cheap then just go for the cheapest one it won't be much difference on normal road until the pad reached high enough temp or high speed braking

Have you tried trestor? Local brand and priced relatively low price but not sure if they have it for your car

Brembo pad too many non genuine on market. Any sellers you suggest for genuine, online?
*
i get it online, it has a QR code for you to check

the price is cheap probably because it is made locally or in neighbor country instead of italy

for the price vs performance, i wont say it is fake but it is not meant for extreme/track driving since it is just for oem replacement at a budget

i rather buy brake pad from china which has more performance pads to choose from tongue.gif

I heard higher numbers basically need to change more frequently cause it absorb moisture more
*
hitting the rated dry temp will deteriorate the fluid more than moisture, moisture absorption happen overtime and i cant really tell if higher DOT absorb faster or slower, i usually will change it when i feel spongy pedal since i frequently went racing with my car

this is why racing brake fluid has higher rated dry and wet temp, because it is the heat that kill the fluid and it can go as worst as pedal to the floor and the car barely stopping even though the brake pad still thick and not overheat yet
