Ferodo Zero brake pads in Brisbane

[Mallory Black]

Hi
I've been ringing around the ususal suspects in Brissy and not able to source some Ferodo Zero disc pad's for our Prado.
Looking for DB1323ZP for front and DB1200ZP on the rear. Apart from all the black dust they make they have been excellent stoppers

I did once have the 4wd pads but they don't pull the vehicle up. The 90 Series brake system only works properly with a softer compound pad

I currently have Calibre pads from super cheap and they are not as good as the Ferodo Zero's were
Repco have a pad called the Ferodo Target and of course they stock Bendix
just wondering if anyone has had experience with these pads in comparison to the Zeros?

  Could these be the brand?
  Don't know about if your part numbers are available though!

Nup Prado 90/95's don't share a front caliper with anything else, the rears fit a lot of different Toyota 4wd's though
In the end went for Repco's standard compound, they are made by Ferodo anyway.

instantly better

By the look of the pads that came out they were very shiny/glazed looking despite doing all the right things to allow them to bed in. Maybe (just maybe) I could have roughed them up to give them another chance to bed in but the hassle to jack the car up and take all the wheels off etc etc, not worth it

Some time back I put a front set of those supercheap pads on my son's commodore. Within a couple of months he had a pulsing pedal and it jerked to a stop.
They are a very hard pad I suspect and made a mess  of his discs in just a short time and few kms.
May have been going to happen anyway but I don't think I will buy that brand again.
