Hi guys, I have everthing out of my SI and now is going to my DX, but while Im doing the brake swap, Im replacing the discs and pads. Any recomendation on this two items? I like them to look cool as well but not sure if I want them drill. If anybody can provide info for what types of disc should I get,brands, the same goes for pads. I have seen some on ebay at good price but I want to know if there are ok. FINALLY im putting the brakes together, just need help with me selection, brand, prices, where to buy them and what to buy.
Help me obi one kenobi you my only hope!!!

How much for the brembo blanks and the hawk pads just to have an idea to compare with whatever is out there. also I would like for the disc to look cooler than a blank disc, any recomendation on that?

do you want them to look cool or actually work and not crack?

SWEET

 

OEM

 

hawk hps, performance friction carbon-metallics, cobalt GTsports, carbotech bobcats; they are all great street pads, the cobalt gtsports are more of a dual purpose.

you can uhh...paint the rotor hat and the vanes to make it look cooler??

 

can they be cool without cracking? I think Im staying away from the drilled ones, but what about slot ones and the dimples ones.

 

while on the subject, which one you guys think is better Hawk pads vs EBC pads. which is the best bang for the buck without giving out on peformace. How much would it cost for a kit of front and rear pads... also which model type because it seems that each of the companies have different types of pads for different application.

 

i'd say get some power slot rotors...the slotted only and hawk pads...i had the brembo cross/drilled rotors with pbr pads on my EJ8...worked well but after 5 months the rotors were warped...but thats my experience with them...

 

I'd take hawk over EBC anyday. Go to their website to find a parts application for your specific car. We're not going to do all the work for ya. You'd need it for the Si because thats' the brakes you're swapping in front and rear, correct?

If you want your pads to last, if you want your rotors to last, and if you want ideal braking just get blank rotors and hawk hps. How many times this will be repeated in this thread, we'd probably lose count...

 

bahh just get what you want. i like my brakes look nice and perform excelent



no cracking involved just make sure if they are slotted/drilled that it is from a cast not actually drilled/slotted

 

what about those "green stuff" pads????

 

ive read a lot of problems about rbc greenstuff pads leaving behind too many deposits on the rotor which leaves the sensation of warped rotors.

 

soo... this may be weird... but i never heard of "hawk" pads....
they are good?
are they affordable? (cheap)

 

hawk hps are great pads. google it. they're simply awesome street pads; they should come stock on all cars.
they're not cheap pads, they run about $60 for front and $50/below for rears. There are more expensive pads out there like $100 for front...carbotech is one of them but when it comes to brake pads you get what you pay for usually. $10 Kragen PGPlus pads are not going to cut it compared to Hawk HPS.
