I was just wondering if anybody has used their replacment brake pads and what your thoughts/opinions are of them.
TIA

 

supposedly a good replacement for OEM pads for street use. Not suitable for track use.

i remember that from some searches back in the day.

 

I believe NISSIN/OEM pad maker makes the AEM pads also. Probably better than stock and good for street use. As Rob mentioned for tracking, I'd look elsewhere.

 

you are correct.
nissin is the oem pad maker for honda, and aem pads are made by nissin.
similar to a metal master pad, not for heavy track use though.

I use the Perfomance Friction Z compound. Good for the street and good for an occasional track day too. If you track your car a lot you may want something more aggresive.

 

I have them on. They are very good as a replacement and are made by Nissin. The pads feel like oem but grabs harder. There is very little dust from them and no squeeling at all. However they are not the best for track or extreme hard driving.

 

provided that they are better than stock, i'm happy.
mainly street w/very light track usage

 

it should work, depends on the track usage.
light cone killing should be fine.
i made it through 2days on thunderhill with the aem pads...

have you considered the axiss ultimates? great street/light track pad.

IM me for info on where to get these if you're interested.

 

I've heard very good things about the Axiss ultimate pads from Andy @ Cobalt Friction..

 

i've also heard great things about cobalt friction, how are the axxis ultimates performance wise?

 

from what I've read, a step above the AEM pads. I have the ultimate pads front and rear on my car and it is definitely a step above the stock pads w/o many drawbacks of the track only pads. does dust a bit more than the stocks, though. good thing is the dust is non corrosive and is easy to wash off.
