Best 350z Non-brembo brake pads
Does anyone have suggestions for which brake pads to purchase for a 350z non-brembo for street driving? Should I just stick with OEM, Hawk HPS, or something else?
I assume ceramics are the best choice due to the lack of brake dust and brake pad/rotor life. Thanks.

+1. OEM are good pads for normal street driving. I personally am using ProStop Ceramic pads... just because they're low dust, and don't squeal. Not sure about the life though, claims to be longer than OEM, but we'll see...

uhhh i still wouldn't run stock pads just for the fact that, if you need to stop and your runnin anywhere near 100 the brakes will start to fade out on the 1st hard stop.

OP - are you looking for fronts or rears or both? I have some extra street rears since I am in the middle of changing rear brake set-ups. I may have a front set also, I could look, but I have used Hawk HPS, NISMO, and Axxis Ultimate for street use with great success.

You're all crazy. StopTech performance pads. Higher bite and higher temperature range than the HPS. Less dust and less noise than the HP+ or Axxis ULT pads.
If you wanted to do a 100mph run with these, you can. If you wanted to take your car to the track with these, you can do it without having these pads fade.
If you have a full blown high HP car running really sticky tires like slicks, then you probably aren't running stock brakes, and should be running full race pads.

Fixed! (Though I'm still going to try the ST perf pad given their good value and see how many events they last - I will report back). Maybe they'll be just enough when coupled with your larger ST40 front kit and Brembo rears with cooling.

This announcement falls quickly on the heels of
last year’s purchase of StopTech, the leader in balanced brake upgrades.
