I am starting to look at some new front break pads. 1 I am starting to hear some minor squeaks. 2 elminate break dust.

I went to courtesy parts online found these:

Hawk Plus Pads 350z $135
Hawk Blue HP 350z racing $177

(i assume that is for a pair)

EBC V2 Redstuff Sport $100

(don't know if that is for a pair or not)

Nismo R-Tune 350 z front $132

Please give me some recommendations. And what do you think would be best for some daily driving / spirited driving .

Also where can I get these installed if I am not going to do the job myself? Place like Tire Kingdom?

 

Are any of these ceramic pads? My buddy put ceramic pads on his 911 and was saying how great they are cuz there's little brake dust and it's white, so you don't have to clean your rims every day.

Thoughts?

 

If you want low dust, then stay away from the Hawk Blues and HP+. I don't have any experience with EBC pads, and the R-tunes are way overpriced for what you get. For your application, I'd stick with the HPS.

 

well i want lower dust then what i have now. if i don't wash my wheels every week they look like they were powdercoated.


HPS? where can I get those? price?

 

You can get HPS from www.raceshopper.com or www.tirerack.com. IIRC, RaceShopper has more competitive prices.

The HP+ is a more aggressive street pad than the HPS, but it dusts a lot. And as for the Blues, I really wouldn't use them on any car, despite the application. Hawks produce a good OEM replacement pad, but I think their "race" pads are trash.

 

thanks. i just got a quote for the HPS for $56 per wheel. i cna't beat that. i just need to find a install place.

 

Best place to install them is in your driveway. It's terribly easy...
