Who's got em, Do they help keep your wheels clean?

Do they last longer?

Thanks to all

Bill

 

I have Carbon-Metallic Hawk HPS. Washing my car keeps the wheels clean. They last depending on your driving style. Stockers last me 20k+ miles. You're welcome.

Dang

 

i bought my 2005 new and i had to clean the dust off every 2 days, so i bought cermics right away. there is no dust, just the road dirt on the rims. theyve been on the car for 22-23k miles, im gonna take a look to see how much pad is left, but so far so good,

i do get good road breaking performance out of them. im very satisfied , anything else?

 

where can you find some?

is that a serious question? any parts store that sells brakepads can sell ceramics

 

im talking about good reputable online stores. i haven't seen any for the S yet....relax dude.

 

that was a relaxed dude question, no hostility. mine are by pro ceramic, like i said i use them for street driving. and i have gone pretty fast and stopped on a dime and thats after 20k+ miles on the pads. and theyre still going strong

try TIRERACK!!!
they carry Hawk HPS/HP+/Ceramic/Blue(track pad), and some other brands also
JIM @ ext 364 can help you out with all your s2k needs

imo, best pads i had was Endless CCX. they are dusty & pricy but i loved them

 

Endless CCX = track pad. Endless type M = street pad, less dust, less pricey.

Ok now hotshot. He's got join date on you for one, plus he has good info. And in case you forget, 184 &gt; 167.

Pull up the last post you made where you actually helped someone out? Exactly. GTFO!

 

i was kidding dude....whats wrong?

 

If you're gonna bicker and ***** threads, post the info that the OP asked for first, unless it's completely rediculous. Then wait for the lock.

 

My preference is Carbotech Performance Brakes' pads. Great stuff!

Back to this original post, is that the only reason you want ceramic pads? As a poor effort keep from having to wash your wheels often?

In my opinion, put a brake pad on the car with a compound that suits your driving habits. Both ceramic pads (including the stock pads on 00-03) and the metallic pads (04+) have excellent stopping characteristics.

If you like to track the car or auto x with it now and again, you better be willing to sacrafice the stopping performance with a little more brake dust.

If you bought the S just for cruising around and looking good (or at least trying to) then might as well get the ceramic pads and become a little lazier in life.

 

Since his question was answered. What is a good pad for auto-x/sirited driving offten? You said ceramic was better for cruising and not for racing/ hard driving. So is metalic the way to go? thanks in advance.

Endless CCX

 

That is a brand, not a type. Carbon Metallics work well with auto-x and tracking IMO. Upgraded lines and fluids help also. Make sure your rotors aren't too grooved, they tend to do that easily on racing pads.

 

u have a choice to make, street pads or tracking pads. i didnt like the stock pads, so i put on ceramics. for street use the havey excellant stopping power, plus the advantage of no black dust, i have around 23k in spirited driving and they still perform like new.

but if u want to know which pad has the best peformance then ask what is the best race pad

and its not being lazy when u wash your car then in 1 or 2 days the car is still very clean except now u have black rims, id rather be driving the s than washing itevery 2 days, thats not lazy

 

I am looking for a good set of track pads any ideas I what area to look .

My crew and I are starting a project car for scca T-2 class with a Honda s2000 2005
any info would be very usefull thanks!!!

 

^^^^^Hawk HPS, they work very well on the track no fade!!!

 

Street/track/auto-x.... Cobalt GT Sport

I run my car at Time Trials/Time Attack. Hawk HPS works great. Does not groove the rotors as readily also.

 

Good street pad: performance friction, choose the model appropriate to your driving style and it can be picked up at most local auto stores.

Great track pack: Ferodo DS3000 endurance, good track life and pedal feel.

Be sure to address brake cooling first before switching to an aggressive brake pad compound. The more aggressive the brake pad, the more often you'll be changing rotors.
