The thing is one person's "fine" NVH is another's "miserable", so I was hoping to find some sort of meaningful comparison, if not of bushings in-situ, of materials and durometer ratings and the like. I mostly street my car but I don't want to rattle my teeth out on my area's shitty roads. I know the E30 is a 40 year old car, I don't expect it to be silent or perfectly smooth but it's already vibrating enough as it is with an exhaust on it and I don't want to make it miserable to daily.]]> Maybe Magpie https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/forum/e30-technical-forums/suspension-unsprung/10165789-objective-bushing-comparisons https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/forum/e30-technical-forums/suspension-unsprung/brakes-subframe-arms/10165776-brake-pads-2026-edition Thu, 20 Aug 2026 17:53:19 GMT
I've been running Porterfield R4-S pads for years, and while they're pretty good at everything, I feel there must be something better out there by now. The Porterfield's take 1 or 2 stops to get some heat in them, and they make quite a bit of dust. Never had a squeal, I like the pedal feel, and I haven't had them fade in the canyons or at an autocross ever. I have Porterfield R4 on a track only car, and the pedal feel is a bit better, but they dust way more, take longer to heat up, and require quite a bit of cooling on the track. Not what I'm looking for on a street car.

I tried the Hawk pads that everyone recommended back in ~2008 and hated them, is Hawk making anything better these days? I think they were the HP+, but its been so long.

OEM spec Pagid/Jurid/ATE don't last more than 2-3 harder stops before fading away.

I've tried EBC yellow and green pads on other cars and don't tend to like the pedal feel. I haven't tried the blue.

Does anyone have experience with the following as street/canyon pads?

Ferodo DS2500
PFC08
Hawk ER-1

Any others that I'm missing?]]> E30SPDFRK https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/forum/e30-technical-forums/suspension-unsprung/brakes-subframe-arms/10165776-brake-pads-2026-edition
