Hey fellas I can't seem to decide which brake pads to choose.. leaning towards maximum performance with the least amount of noise possible (Thanks Jake):b Got the 4/2 brembo setup, will be running Stoptech (power slot) slotted rotors in the front with cross-drilled/slotted in the back. I've used Hawk HPS pads and liked em but felt the braking distance degrade once they heated up. Currently leaning towards EBC red- or yellow- ..Can anyone who auto-x recommend some good pads? It would be much appreciated!

 

^^^Andy - glad youre on here holmes... Im sure Scott or Chris willl chime in...

on a side note - Cesars subframe bushings now say SIKKY on them now..

here is the aftermath...LMAO

 

I have used The Hawk HPS, & EBC yellows....Currently I have the EBC blue pads on. EBC are much better !

Yellows will would be my recommendation if you DD your car...they will last longer. The blues seem to wear out quite a bit faster than the yellows.

I have gone thru a set of blues this year already....I think I might get the yellow's again next time because they worked great for Track & AutoX.

 

dang jake... that looks like it was a task

 

-How long was the install Jake??

-That's just what I wanted to hear.. Yellow's seem like my best choice. Thanks Chris!

 

outsiders? meh - they are everywhere -

is everyone done working on your car mr fith? bushing pressed in mr. bolton? are random people from the internet still showing up at your house jake?

 

Lol. I'm not far and only met one person from here ever, that I know of. Lol.

 

Who all have you met, and where?

 

jdriftk, and that's it. Lol.

 

stu!

 

Andy - I can't speak to EBC or Hawk, but I'm running the Stoptech Performance Street pads for autoX/track days/street. I haven't noticed any fade with them at all. I'm sure there are pads with more bite, quite possible the EBCs that Chris and Scott use, but I've yet to use those. There is no noise with the Stoptech and seemingly very little dust (although my car sees little to no street time these days).

Moral of the story - stoptech street performance pads are a viable option.

 

 

I like my ebc blues over the hawks. No noise and I have had them on for a year with 2 track days and many auto crosses. I know Chris didn't like the wear of his blues but they should wear longer the the yellows. Either way I think you'll like ebc.

Maybe I should give EBCs a try. I like the HP Plus so I'm already on my 3rd set, but it definitely is noisy almost all the time and dusts like a ****.

 

After driving Chris' car at autoX today I will say that his pads have much more bite than my Stoptech street pads. I don't have issues with mine, but his definitely have more bite. They would be too much for my tires, but he's got them paired with good grip so it works.

 

A bit sore today...Cesar is happy though, thats all that matters..

 

Ran into a ton of snags.. nothing brute strength and a BFH couldnt fix..

Thanks Patrick for helping us in final stretch....

 

^ I saw that beast mode last night, lol. Good for you guys for finally finishing up after a long day.

Yeah, driving each other's car at autox was pretty helpful today. I think it gave us more insight into our cars and a better idea of how to address its current set up issues. Congrats on placing podium, Eric!

 

oh man that looks like it was a ton of work

 

Big difference man, they are just what I needed. Really can't say it was smooth as butter, but the outcome is worth it to me...lol thanks Jake puta always gets through NO MATTER WHAT!! You need to drive my car bro to hurry you on getting yours on which have been sitting in your garage for how long? :P no pressure! Guess we ought to wait until we not sore anymore, dude my neck is still killing me today!
