Just wondering if any of you have suggestions about replacing the stock brake pads, The stopping power is just fine for me but i would like a pad that lasts longer,


Thanks in advance

 

Hawk HPS pads. Less dust and should last longer too.

 

2nd that!

 

Either Hawk HPS or EBC "Greenstuff Sport" pads. Have had both on my "Z" and experienced less dust, no problem stopping and both should last longer.

 

hit 8500 and am thinking about new pads, was looking for the same info, will prob go for the hawks.. thanks

 

werd. i have been using these on every car i have owned stateside so far from the first brake job i do. excellent for the street with great low dust qualities that live up to the hype with no metal squeal.

and they hold up well for autox.

 

I have heard great things about both pads mentioned. I don't think you can go wrong with either pad.

 

EBC green.

 

EBC V4 Greenstuff Sport - Front Brake Pads
Application:
350Z / Roadster with non-Brembo brakes (Base, Enthusiast, Performance and Touring models)

Put these front pads on my ZR at 6200 miles (now at 9300).
They took care of the dust issue for me, and they work well.
Will be putting EBC on rear wheels, later on (when needed).

Hawk HPS! Gottem and they got rid of the excessive dust problem. Got good prices from Greg at www.gscmotorsports.com!

 

Thanks for all the help guys, i also hear it's not that hard to change your own brakes because i am sick of paying 400 friggin dollars at the dealership for 40 dollar brake pads.
but that's a whole other story,
Thanks again

 

Endless pads...nothing else

 

I put Hawk HP+ pads on when I still had the Altima brakes, and with those the dust is very low, but the low-speed squeak is a bit much for a daily driver. I'd suggest, Hawk HPS, Ferodo, or Endless for your application.

I've got a set of CarboTech Bobcats on order for use on the street/Autocross with my Brembos. I'll let you know how they work out.

 

HPS...

I recently put these Hawk HPS on. They dust very little. To me though, these pads don't have that nice tightness to the breaks. It doesn't have that nice initial bite to it like the stock ones do.
Is it the same for you all too ?

 

I changed my own including rotors.

 

Do you do the 'break in'. I have the EBC and they are the same.

 

I'm not sure what you mean by 'Break in'. I resurfaced the rotors and then installed the pads. What is EBC ? Sorry if i don't know all the terms

I think he meant "bedding" the brakes...

here's a link: bedding brakes

 

Exactly as above, thanks! EBC greenstuff brake pads. Just another brand.
