Brake pads remain somewhat of a black-art to most automotive enthusiasts.  Visit any car-related forum and you'll see the same questions asked over and over, "which pads should I buy?" "will I really stop 40 feet shorter?" and " why won't my pads work perfectly on the street and track, never dust, make no noise, last 90,000 miles, and cook me breakfast every morning?" 

There is no one perfect pad for all situations, and choosing a pad compound revolves around tradeoffs.  Learn how to sift through the clutter and find the right pads for you.
