Only pads that Repco sell that I wouldn't use is Silverline. Nothing wrong with the rest.

Yep nothing wrong with Ferodo, I don't think they are as good as the Bendix pads re getting that horrible dust buildup on your wheels though.Definitely wouldn't recommend Silverlines, while obviously they stop OK for most drivers they score the rotors to buggery.

Pad compound 101. Choice of compound is always a compromise between pad wear, rotor wear and performance under both high and (equally important for a road car) low temperatures. What you have just described is a comparison between what is commonly described as a ???soft??? compound (good low temp operation or ???bite???, produces more dust, less rotor wear but more high temp fade) with a ???hard compound??? which performs better at higher temperatures, has less bite, more rotor wear and consequently produces less dust.Be aware that I am generalising (101!) and yes there is obviously a difference in the quality and types of friction material used by different manufactures. Hope this helps.

Silverlines have come from at least 3 different manufacturers in the last few years, and for a while one of those suppliers was Ferodo. I have heard similar things said about Calibre pads at Supercheap, which just happen to come from Bendix. Like anything, you get what you pay for. Buy the cheapest, and you get the cheapest pad to manufacture.

Only thing I can say is generally I've found Ferodo pads tend to squeak more often, even with anti squeak shims/spray/copperkote etc then other pads.
Performance wise they are on par with Bendix and other brands
