what's the best brake pads? axxis? aem? ebc? projectu? spoon? mugen? i just want ppls opinion and what have u experiences from it?? b4 i get some.

 

depend on how u goona use it. road track, ebc, projectu, spoon and mugen, but i recommand ebc green, coz it gets less dust and not expensive, very stabable for street use. japanese brand are good, but too expensive.

axxis and aem are not that good especially axxis.(i tried one, and it heat fade like hell).

 

thanks i'll get ebc .... i was shooting for those too.l

 

Who sells EBC pads cheap?

The Axxis Ultimates are excellent pads. What kind of use will they be seeing? For just street driving, I seriously recommend sticking with OEM pads.

 

i have Axxis pads on my Brembo crossdrilled rotors and they work great.

 

a friend of mine has Hawk pads with a GSR brake setup on his EK

 

EBC pads are terrible. Go with Hawk HP+ or Porterfield R4-S for street use. Carbotech Panther Plus for track.

Edit: Cn't spel for sht

EBC are garbage!!! hawk hp+ is the way to go!

 

 

EBC Greens are the worst pads ever! Dust like hell and tend to warp rotors.

Before you say pads don't warp rotors, just ask some people who have actually USED these pads and don't just read BS advertisements.

AEM pads are good pads for street and AutoX. Dust is very low, initial bite is as good as stock and a little heat makes them stop pretty well. Basically, they are slightly more performance oriented "stock pads". Which is pretty much the case, since they're made by Nissin, the same company that makes stock Honda pads.

I've heard Hawk HP+ pads are very good if you can stand a noise during light braking and more dust.

I am also looking to get some good stoppers when I upgrade to the GSR motor in my Eg hatch.

The car will be mainly a daily driver with an occasional street / drag racing.

Will upgraded pads increase over stock? Should I look into new rotors and brake lines?

Thanks for any input.

 

 

for daily driving I like my endless...

 

I have Hawk Street Performance pads on Powerslot rotors, and I'm rather happy with them.

 

i too need the answer to this question........look at sig...

 

 

I use the panther plus for the street and the track-great pad. You might want to look at performance friction as well.

 

i asked this same question a week ago, but not many replies.. cept people saying ebc green stuff sucks... anyhow.. i went with the cobalt special and got axxis ultimates and superblue racing brake fluid... great prices and great brakes.. thanks again andie

 

also wondering how much of a difference just the pads make?? What are people's thoughts on the wilwood upgrade?? i know its a bit much but looks tempting. What else do you need to convert to abs in a hatch? ABS master cylinder and equipment? thanks,

 

ive had axxis MM's and they stop good but after a while dusted like crazy and started squeaking like a ****, using AEM nissin pads and they are awesome! they do exactly what their meant for spiritied street use, maybe a lil track. definitely considering them again for my dc2r suspension since i havent replaced anything yet

 

hawk hp+ is what i run for aggressive street and track pad
-good initial bite when warm
-good workable temp range
-performed really good at a lapping day

downsides are
-dust like a muthafucker
-squeal like a muthafucker
-don't work all that well without heat
-eat rotors liek muthafucker
-hard to modulate at low speeds, like rush hour traffic
-easy to lock up or engage abs in the rain if your not careful

its a good street/strip pad but its barely street.
