I was wondering if anyone out there tried Endless Brake Pads
(NOT Big Brake Kit)?

If yes, please post your experience.

Performance:

Noise:

Dust:

More detail, better it is.

Thanks

 

Endless SSS brake pad on my non brembo z

Performance: The stock rotors w/ stock brake pads were chewed up. With just as much mileage and much heavily abused braking.. the rotors are fine. Great stuff. In terms of braking. initial pedal feel is great. i also upgraded brake fluid to allow for less fade. These pads are pretty awesome. they serve dual purpose track/street. i just wish endless made ccx for the non brembo z's
Noise: Once heated they do get hot.. when i say heated i mean track heated. otherwise for normal daily driving they are quiet as can be..
Dust: Lower Dust than stock... Very minimal.. I would wash car about once every 2 weeks... and with these pads the dust was not bad at all.


Thanks

 

My SSS held up pretty good at Thunderhill yesterday. I use them on the street also.

I run endless sss pads as well. love them. low dusting, great heat capacity and great all around street pad. i have no squeaks at all.

 

just as a comparison for whoever might know, how do these fair against the Nismo pads for the nonBrembos--in terms of noise and brake dust?

 

people actually run nismo pads? =)
i can compare this to hawk / porterfield ... and these just blow them out of the water

 

i dunno! LOL! so the endless pads compare to hawk/porterfield and blow those out of the water?

so I should say screw the overpriced Nismo pads? haha

 

Used the endless pads in front. Great performance, no squeaks, low dust.

I do caution against using the endless pads for the rears though. Lots of pad drag and dust... they wore out faster than the fronts! Partly to fault are the fact that after market rear pads do not use the retaining clip. Also VDC may play a role in increased wear(?)

 

so use OEM rears? anyone share this experience with performance rear pads?

 

i have not experience this...
are you running brembo or non brembo?
maybe you should check the adjustment of the rear piston.. see if it is sticky...
cause mine are fine.

 

I'm running Axxis Ult. in front all the time and switch the rears to R4's for the track. the 350 Z has a rear brake bias which causes much faster wear on the rears. The Ult. were ok but, with over 50% gone they began to fade after about 5 minutes. Permanent answer is BBK.
