Raybestos PGD969C brakes ignored??

Why is it that the Raybestos PGD969C brakes are completely ignored on the forum? Usuallyeven if the pads suck someone is out stating just that. Are they like so brand new to the market, so no on has tied them on? Why the big silence?

3 days since thread has been opened and still no reply? Quite a big silence. If you made this thread cuz your looking for brake pads Id say go with EBC Redstuff.

I agree with VIK - EBC Redstuff or Hawk Ceramics. I have the Ceramics on and love them.

I had a set of them on my '02 Max before I traded it in a few weeks ago. They were really good; smooth, quick and quiet.
My friend owns a garage and usually does my brakes, he recommended them to me rather than the regular. Probably not as good as the Ceramics but definitely a good alternative.

I just find it strange that no one had any comments on the newer Raybestos pad? Yeah, I'm looking for pads, so of course I looked at Raybestos, which I had on my old Max. I'd rather go with a product that has a lot of endorsements. I may have to settle on the Hawk ceramics.

When it comes to brakes I don't think endorsements mean much. How brakes perform and how long they last has more to do with driving habits.

Sorry, I dropped the endorsement bomb. I meant endorsed by you guys, the real users! What matters is what the buyers have to say about a product when the rubber meets the road. I could care less what a guys selling Shamwo has to say.
