I posted this on the EG forums but no one there has much experience with Endless pads, etc. They directed me to the ITR forum because it was mentioned more people here might have experiences with Endless pads, so I'm wwondering if you ITR owners could help me out, thanks!

Car: EG with GSR front calipers, rotors, etc (the works).
Brake pads in consideration: Endless Vita Nuova II's or something of the Endless NA line of pads.

Purpose: gonna be seeing daily driving and MANY winding roads and track/autocross once a month or so.

I'm going to ask for Endless stuff only is because I have a partial sponsorship from them and it's going to be cheaper for me to get.

If anyone can offer me assistance it would be great, thanks.

Wrong forum.

 

Try the road racing/autoX forum

They'll tell him to go to Autozone! LOL!

 

I run Project Mu's B-FORCE, I really like them.

Endless = $$$$
Save your money.

 

I'm with Willard. Save your dough. Give Andy Lin a buzz over at Cobalt Friction. See my sig for the link.

 

I can't comment on the exact Endless pads you are asking about, but I am using Endless CC-x in front and rear and have been very happy with them.

Give Mike @ IPS Racing a call. 1-866-477-7264

Ditto. Only experience I've had with Endless pads is with the CC-x. Experience no squeal/noise compared to GT Sports. Far better grab than Axxis Ultimates. Can't comment on fade resistance on either the GT Sports or Axxis Ultimates but the Endless held up fairly well for a "combo" pad.

I'd rock 'em if they didn't cost so damned much. Who knows, maybe I'll bite the bullet and get a set when I need to replace my street/autox front pads and rear pads.

 

Get the cheap pads because the more friction the more you will wear out your rotors.

I'd rather have aggressive street-able pads and wear out $25 Autozone rotors than go back to stock or worse than stock pads.

 

Thanks to those of you that helped me, I have no budget and I'm not limited financially.

 

really depends on the application. If your'e only using the car for track work, then look into Cobalt or Endless pads. If the car is a daily driver, or driven in cold temps, you might want to look at the Axxis Ultimates. I have them on my R (daily driver) and I think they're awesome. The initial grab is awesome, and they are very consistent (cold or hot). Great pad for the street and mild autoX / track work. Go to http://www.cobaltfriction.com - they are an Expo sponsor, and have a great selection...
(also make sure you get SS lines and some good fluid to go with those good pads)

Thats because we dont care much for people that get their enjoyment from blasting through public roads at excessive speeds......

And i use autozone pads on the street, and autozone rotors on track also *shrug*

But for autocross, Ultimates or Hawk HP+ are your best choice. Endless = not worth the price tag.

If I were you, I would just call Cobalt Friction and tell them what it is you are doing with the car.

They offer everything from a more aggressive street compound to all-out racing compounds, and I can say from personal experience that they all do what Andie says they'll do.

There are two big brake people at Honda Tech.

Cobalt Fricton: Sponsors three cars in the Honda Challenge, and has achieved big results in a short time, with successes in the American LeMans Series, World Challenge, American Iron and Grand Am.

Carbotech: Also sponsors cars in Honda Challenge, and was a NASA-Virginia series sponsor. The owner of Cobalt Friction got his start w/these guys and the "Panther Plus" brake pad is very popular in some circles.

Neither of these companies will steer you wrong, and you'll get the right help if you just ring them up.

 

Greenstuff pads are great for the street, but suck once they get really hot (when you auto-x)...but on the street i give them two big and they are cost effective

Have you used Endless pads?

 

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Flux &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Have you used Endless pads?</TD></TR></TABLE>

I dont need to. I can get all the performance i need out of a set of pads costing under $75.

RJ - who thinks people get too hung up on their equipment.

*sigh* thanks to everyone that posted but I'm still not finding the answer I need.

I HAVE A PARTIAL SPONSORSHIP WITH ENDLESS IT WOULD BE CHEAP FOR ME TO GET THEIR STUFF.

MY CAR WILL BE SEEING DAILY DRIVING MOSTLY, MOUNTAIN ROADS ON THE WEEKENDS AND THE TRACK ONCE A MONTH OR A BIT MORE.

WHAT'S A GOOD ALL-AROUND PAD THAT CAN COVER THOSE 3 ASPECTS OF MY DRIVING.

I'm not trying to flame, just trying to get answers but people keep going off-topic.

Why don't you call them and find out what THEY suggest!!!

 

IIRC, even Andie had/has high praise for the Endless CC-x.

Again, for the normal Joe, it's a bit much ($$$) just for brake pads.
