What brake setups are you guys running pads/rotors , any opinions on anything?

 

My best friend runs Brembo blanks and Hawk HPS in his DA.

They grip very well, and don't make hardly any noise at all.

Much improved over stock, I'm not sure about other setups, as the Hawks are all I've felt.

thats the setup i am leaning towards, i was also thinking about some axxis pads just to check them out, they are only $40 if i dont like them.

just looking for other opinions / thoughts.

 

im running autozone rotors with axis mettal master pads. they are nice

 

Stock yO!

 

im going to run brembo blanks or powerslots with metal master pads and stainless steel brake lines hopefully this works well

 

I'm going to end up running the Fastbrakes 2 piece Type R kit with Spoon calipers

 

Yeah yo, I wanna be knowin the same ting B. What ya runnin?

 

Fastbrakes 2 piece Type R kit with Accord V6 calipers in front and Fastbrakes big rear rotor in the rear, both with stainless steel brakelines. I dig it.

I got the stock/no-name brand rotors (I don't really think they make a damn difference between them and brembo blanks) and Axxis Ultimates. Nice brake pads, I like them alot. Should come in handy if i autocross this summer.

 

Brembo Blanks, HPS pads, and stainless steel lines and they work great

I'm VERY happy with these brakes, huge improvement over stock. Although i'm a bit upset that my front rotors are givin me the wobbles again....and they're pretty new. I seem to have really bad luck w/ warping rotors.

 

do u torque the lug nuts to 75 ft/lbs? If you are just using a tire iron or socket and rachet it is easy to overtighten them; 75 isn't a whole lot for such a large nut. over tighening them may cause them to warp.

 

hmm, thats interesting. I don't usually use a torque wrench, to tighten them, but i'm always careful not to torque 'em really hard.

what about rain? I'm not 100% sure if thats what caused it....but i was driving some windy mountain roads in the rain awhile back.....once i got home (it was a 1200 mile, 2 day road trip) i noticed that they were warped.
