Looking to receive some feedback from anyone who has tried different brake pads on an R32 set-up i.e EBC Yelowstuff or Hawk or DS2500 etc.

looking to upgrade and will be for road use only

After trying EBC, Pagid, and Performance Friction I settled on Carbopads for my e36 M3 Ringtool.

Great decel torque and longevity.

Pricey though.

I got mine from Freddy at RingBrakes.

Performance friction don't do pads for the r32, or at least they didnt when I asked 6months ago.

Never said they did - my brake pad experiences are from a BMW.
