Anyone running this set up? I just ordered the oem replacement cross drilled rotors from stoptech and hawk hps pads. hoping it is a good combo. thanks for any feedback.

 

perfectly good setup for the daily driver...

 

I run that setup with motul 600 fluid and stainless lines...good for daily but if you start doing any actual aggressive braking, the show's over. Warpage and undue pad wear becomes an issue pretty quickly if you drive brakes hard.

 

>< those HPS pads kinda suck for street use. They don't get warm enough to brake hard in emergency situations. Once a nice 90-20 warming though, they're real sticky. I think next time i'll just get EBC pads which are more like stock but less dusty.

 

i've had aftermarket pads installed before and i went right back to oem pads immediately. i read it somewhere that it would take at least 10 repeated stops at a 100 mph to make those oem pads to fade anyways.

 

Only issue i have w/ stock is the brake dust. I wish there were near stock temp range aftermarket pads which also have a low dust rate.

 

my wheels are painted gunmetal dust color to camouflage the brake dust, so they don't bother me as much.

 

Running a similar setup with the Hawk HPS and I will never get the Hawks again. Definetly like the low dust but they are quite noisy. Replicating the bedding procedure does nothing either.
