i just got them in today and they have some nissin word on them is that right or did i get ripped off order them from nopi but it came in the aem box and r they any good

 

No... you didn't get ripped off. Nissin manufactures the pads for AEM.

 

awesome thought it was some nissan wanna be parts manufactuer(sic). oh well at least i will stop fast if i cant run that fast.

 

nice pads

good logic.. handling/braking first!

lol, that is quite funny. Hey man, do us a favor and post how much better the pads are after you get them installed, i am thinking about doing front new disks and pads, thanky

 

sure thing man gettin them professionally installed drilled slotted rotors f/b with autozone ceramic top of the line on the back and those on the front im gonna be installin struts on a 93 accord whoo hoo lol all ready installed motor, oil pan back struts brakes and axel on it alwasy work on yo friends car wont have to spend any money if u mess it up

 

Just look at your front calipers, the word NISSIN should ring a bell.

 

they work great great stoppin power

 

Does anyone here know what a performance brake pad is? AEM is BARELY any better than the OEM's. It's quite literally almost the same compound as stock. It's fine for the street as it still does very well cold, but not "great great stoppin power." There's MUCH better pads for the money if you're looking for performance.

 

i got the upgraded rotors 2 big improvement at high speeds if u i guess hawk or axxis ultimate if u got 2 weeks to wait for the companies to get them in stock for a non vtec model

 

I've got a set of AEM's that i swap out whenever i need real pads. They work fine for DD, but on a track these things would shrivel up and die.

 

Yeah, I run Cobalt GTS on the street and autoX, and then I have the Cobalt VR for open tracking.

 

im running axxis ultimates and powerslot slotted rotors. waiting for my calipers.

i think its the best setup. i have had AEM pads and they dusted up everything quick. i also tried EBC same result plus they were worse, didnt last long at all. yes i also seeded them all properly.

im going to try hawk pads next.

i also do many auto x events a months. so these pads are really getting a beating.

 

i had the aem pads for my first time upgrading brakes.. and well they cracked. right down the center, both of them.. i didnt notice any better stopping power, but i did notice that they didnt stop well when cold

 

that is nice to know oh well at least i got the upgrade auto zones on the back i dont know if it was the rotors or what but i can really tell a big difference cause i think i had the cheap auto zone pads on f/r before bought the car like that

I wouldn't. I just pulled off a set of Hawk HP+s that lasted me 2 months. I called Hawk about it, and they did not seem all that interested.

I have the Cobalt GTSs on my car now, and I like them even better than the Hawk HP+s, and I think they are more quiet as well.

The temperature range on the GTSs are 75-900 degrees, and the VRs are 350-1550 degrees. The VRs broke like a champ the whole day at Hallett. 3 hours of hard braking, and they never faded once, and I didn't notice a single gain in pedal travel all day.

Check out http://www.cobaltfriction.com, send them an e-mail telling them what you plan on doing with your car (DD, AutoX, Track, All of the Above), and they'll hook you up with a good setup.

PS - I have a dedicated set of rotors for the VRs, so I don't chew up my DD/AutoX rotors.

 

im not that much into auto X. it is fun. but im more drag. my whole care is set up for it.
