I have always been told to get Metal Maxis, or somethin like that. I heard that EBC makes a nice pad, but the green one that is brake dust free sucks supposedly. Any ideas? I was gonna get AEM next time around.

Porterfield R4S
thats my choice.


better? depends on what you use the brakes for, road use, track use, enduro use....
too much to talk about... there was a good link to an NSX page of brake pads and feedback from users, I dunnoo where it went though.....

Badass pads! A bit pricey, but worth it.
