Default What brake setup do you use?

About time for me to replace my front pads and rotors. Just kind of curious what you guys are running. Do you stick to OEM replacment, or aftermarket? Which do you feel is better for daily driving, highway and in town.

I loved my Axxis Ultimates best for daily driving and track events. They were AWESOME for daily driving. They were fun on the track, but they can be pushed beyond their capabilities if you are into late-braking into turns.

I have some Hawk HPS (high performance street) also and I like them a lot so far. Stock Si calipers and I have no complaints about my braking power

EBC pads FTW...

I've only tried greenstuff on the Prelude but i've ran all three on my rx7.

The greenstuff are the cheapest and they do real well for street and autox use, but they can dust a bit (i don't mind it). Can get brake fade if they get to hot like on a HPDE doing 140mph to 35mph stops in a few hundred feet!

The redstuff are pretty much the same as the greenstuff but they don't dust, but are more expensive.

The yellowstuff are awesome for stopping. I use these when i do HPDE in my rx7. I've never used them on the street because of cost and they do need SOME heat for optimum braking. Dust similar to greenstuff.
