Anything that improves the braking effort very much over stock, has to come
at a price. Usually, faster pad wear. I personally use ONLY RIVETED Semi
metallic linings. There are several brands out there that work well. They
do make more noise, but work well in any weather. Anything you use will
have good points as well as bad points.
