Front pads recommendation
 

I am looking for some recommendations. I have a 06 350z Enthusiast non brembo. It is my DD but I do autocross some. I am looking for low dust as well. I started with a Hawk HBS set but after getting 3 sets with 3 broken clips (2 on shipment) and little response from Hawk, I give up.

Any input would be appreciated

I love my Hawk HPS pads. I think next best thing would be OEM.

Thanks for the response. I ran an autocross track and lost my brakes (hot day in the desert). The OEM pads were scraped and cracked (2 years of DD and 5 autocross runs). I bled the lines and replaced that with ATE Blue. I was going to replace the front rotors (they are blued) after I got a set of Hawks pads functioning but that isn't going to happen after waiting 2 months for Hawk to do something.

Thanks

I've got EBC Redstuff in my Brembo's. Great performance, zero noise/dust. I've been using them in all my cars for 10+ years. Amazon has the best price usually, but check the EBC online catalog to get the correct part numbers before ordering. I've been really happy with the Centric C-Tek rotors, too.

Thanks. My son said the same thing about EBC, (he runs a 300ZX TT w/ yellow). I will take a look a Red

Another thread where there will be about as many "favorites" as there are people here. Laff..... :icon17:

I won't re-type so.... https://my350z.com/forum/brakes-and-...-mu-hc800.html

Bottom line: after running stock, and HPS (no thanks on those, too noisy and while I don't really care about the dusting, these were extremely dusty....almost as bad as the stock pads on my Niz), my all-on favorite are the Carbotech 1521s on the street.

Yup, many favorites. Thanks for the link and will do some research

I've been combing thru this brake pad database: https://my350z.com/forum/autocross-r...-database.html

Lots of great info and feedback from members. Mostly track focused pads, but I have seen a few that drive to the track and the pads they use..

Excellent - Thanks

Another vote for Hawk HPS pads. They provide reliable breaking power and have minimal dust.

EBC yellows have great bite but they do squeak when coming to a stop
