Are Brembo Blanks with OEM Replacement pads a good combo for a ek. Or should i get a different pad like hawk? Has anyone tried this combo?

 

if you changing blanks why not change pads too? i'm running powerslots with hawk pads its a pretty good setup

 

Most people who I've seen running Blanks also ran with Hawk pads. Might as well upgrade...

 

OK I will upgrade Thanks. Also who has hawk pads cheap??

 

Try H-T sponsor ImportRP or http://www.importrp.com.

If you're only looking to replace worn out pads for daily driving then OEM will be fine. They also are low on brake dust.

 

^^ sweet... im doing some research on cross drilled/slotted vs blanks also... helpful link btw

 

I have Axiss Metal Brake Pads and they are awesome.

Just running OEM Pads in the Rear and will be upgrading to Brembo Rotors later on.

 

cool, I wanted cross drilled/slotted rotors but I searched on here and most people say brembo blanks are probably best for a couple reasons. so ill probably get that and oem pads.

 

Brembo blanks with AEM brake pads. hands down the best. trust me, you'll think you have 11" rotors with 4 piston calipers. haha

 

I'm having good luck with blanks and Nissin pads

autozone rotors are just as good as brembo blanks and they're cheap. it makes no sense to spend money on a wear item.

and cobalt gt sport pads own

Nissin pads you mean? Which are AEM pads...

 

....typo...meant to say and Nissin pads. I'd bet AEM are made by Nissin !
Yup !
Found this:
AEM High Performance Brake Pads are specifically engineered for high-performance braking. These pads are manufactured in conjunction with O.E. Japanese brake manufacturer Nissin, and utilize a unique ceramic-Kevlar fiber compound to provide a higher coefficient of friction that resists fading and reduces stopping distances.

Yes, I agree. Spend the money on a good pad instead of the rotor. I use the cheapest rotor I can find at the local autoparts store (rotors are heavy to ship) plus I like PBR/Axxis Ultimate pads. Adjust your rear drums, if you have them, and you'll have excellent brakes for very little money. Also, flush system w/ a decent brake fluid... Valvoline syn power... cheap and effective.

 

Autozone rotors with Axxis Ultimate Pads

Best Value and GREAT stopping for the street

 

best cheap setup = brembo blanks, axxis pads, goodridge ss brake lines.

 

my set-up is Blanks with HAWK HP+ and I love the set-up...its the same I was running on my DSM...and never ever failed me
