Installed front bendix Ceramic brake pads to my ride yesterday,very easy installed in 15 minutes.drove 200 miles today and they are ultra quiet.and no sign of dust.These are great,and very reasonable.

 

where and how much? i was thinkin of getting Hawks HPS pads also. tired of cleaning my wheels every week

 

Local auto parts store.$49.99

 

Will those Ceramics eventually squeal like a pig?

 

is that the price for both front and back or is each pair that price?
aren't the hawks a lot more? or am i just thinking of the nismo ones?

 

$49.99 for a pair or each?

 

Hawk HPS's are liek $65 front and $55 rear. The Nismo ones are about double that, and are more for racing than street.

49.99 is for the front only.As you know the back does not throw out a lot of dust so there not even worth changing.There are ceramic pads that start as low as 35.00,but i would stick to a name brand like bendix.

 

I payed like 120 for HPS + shipping. Almost no front brake dust and very quiet. I like the feel of them more too, not so abrupt. But the fact that there are no more dirty rims is the obvious gain and what a relief!!

 

So whatz the diff btwn brakes that are for racing and those for street in terms of durability, dust, sound, feel, performance?

 

Thanks for the info. I have not looked close at the brakes with the wheels off, are the pads simple to swap out? I like to do something about that dang dust.

 

i hate brake dust, im going to have to get those

 

Strange thing - I bought a new 1990 300 ZX - drove it 25,000
miles - was not expecially an easy driver all the time - and I never had all that brake dust that I am getting on the 350Z. I never replaced them on the 300ZX either. Thinking back - I'm wondering why the big difference.

 

I get tired of cleaning my track wheels all the time, I can't believe all the brake dust from the Brembo's

 

Those new pads will have to break in... Give them a good 1k miles, and THEN report to us on how the dusting is.

 

Could they be worse than the stock pads though? I mean, I'd be surprised if one could find a pad that produces more dust than the stock ones.
