Default Need New Pads.. What Ones?
I have an 05 Base Z with the Stoptech Stage 2 kit.. Rotors are fine, but I need new pads.. any suggestions? I hate the rust circle on my rotors from where the original pads that came with the kit didn't cover..

Akebono pads. I had my first set on from 2006 and just replaced them a week ago. They still had some meat left on them. Hands down the best pads I've ever owned. Quiet and little to no dust.

Normal street driving , i just buy the cheapist pads available at Checker, autozone or pep boys. No pads will take care of the rust ring.

I have run Project mu b-force on the stoptech stage 2 rotors for years... a great all around street pad.
