Thinking of getting a set for my '04 stock Enth. anyone try these? i need an ultra low dust pad as these claim to be. and that they are on sale for $119.00 w/free shipping which sounds like a good deal

 

It's a very popular pad. You can find lots of threads on this in the Brakes & Suspension section of the forum.

I'm running HPS pads. They are low dust and amazing bite, but squeal once in a while on me (I'm running Brembo brakes). Other members on the forum have had no issues with squeal.

If you are thinking HP+ pads, they're very dusty and very noisy.

 

I also have the HPS pads. Basically they are: less dust, more bite, not alot of noise.

 

I had these on my RX-8 and they are good pads. The dust is low, but the initial bite when you press on the brakes is a little soft. Overall not bad, a good pad for just daily driving.

 

Well technically, the Hawk performance ceramic aren't low dust, it just appears that way. All pads make dust, it's just that the ceramics use a silica based compound that makes a lighter dust so you don't see it as much as a farrow carbon compound. Hawks are the best though! I have HPS on my car, on my spec-v I had satisfied GS6 pads, which were pretty decent as well.

 

I have these on my 03 Z. They are so much better. The dust thing is the biggest improvement. Before I could go down the street and black dust everywhere. Now days before I would have to clean the wheels.

 

hey guys ,worth checking into. i never go cheap when it comes to parts for my Z but i just replaced all the pads on mine with ,don't laugh but pep boys carries a ceramic pad called PROSTOP. they are very low dust and absolutly very quiet actually no noise heard yet! my backs used to squeal bad. also i didnt even turn the rotors cuz i only have 22k. just have to bed the pads. gone a week with out washing my ride and the wheels till look clean!

 

oh sorry, spent i think a total for all four $84

 

^^ I'm running ceramic pads from ORielley auto parts. I've gone several days without cleaning my wheels without them looking dusty (other than from the road). The don't have the harsh initial bite that the oem pads did at low speeds, but stop just as quickly from what I can tell. I paid around the same as what jon did above.
