I asked a few vendors and looked around.. But the answer just isn't coming fast enough! I just installed 4pot F/R AP Racing BBK and they look gorgeous.. BUT the pads are HORRIBLE! Can anybody suggest in your opinion what would be the best pads for daily driver use? Quiet/reliable/long lasting/etc

 

as menioned in the pm we sent you, you need to say what exact part # calipers you have in order for anyone to tell you what compounds are available

you also give no details as to what is horrible about the pads you have, and what you are looking to improve or change with new pads

 

lol i was hoping you were wrong.. is it NECESSARY to have the specific part number? i dont feel like taking the wheel off again and crawling back and getting the part number from f/r calipers.. the pads were just totally worn down and I need new ones! but I don't see the reason, if you know the manufac./size of rotors/caliper size, why do you need anything else? but I heard some pads are louder than other.. etc. So I need the quiet ones


so real question is.. do I really need to get back there and get the part #'s off the calipers?

 

if you can't get the info, I can't help you

why do you need the info? because pad manufacturers reference specific calipers, and without knowing what caliper you have, I can't tell you what pads will work. I'd rather not just randomly guess what you have, I'd rather hear it directly from you, so we can match up something that we know will work.
