Front pads

Afternoon I am looking for peoples opinions on front brake pads I need to fit some new pads to my v8. The car has mtech C hook front disks and standard LR pads at the moment but the pads are a little low. The car is driven hard some times when on blue lights and is also used to tow with so I would like some that can take some abuse and stop better I have been looking at black diamond pads and ebc ones but I was looking for peoples opinion on them cheers steve

I have fitted the Terrafirma ceramic pads and think they are fantastic great braking and no brake dust all over the wheels.

I have LR pads and disks. Nothing to complain about (ok, maybe the price..) Didn’t seem to be much brake dust on the wheels, either, as I applied dragon’s breath the other day.

I have the green stuff ebc "HD truck" was quite sceptic when I fitted last year was very impressed...

last month I did the v8 upgrade front/back as were 10% offer with maltings and thought that's nice to do while on lock down.

Changed the discs an left the ebc pads in, looks like they'll do another year at least Mr. Green when they get low I'll pop the terrafirma pads in (ceramic red) that came with the conversion kit.
