I have 50K miles and its time to replace the original brake pads (at least front ones). What replacement brake pads you reccomend and what is the best place to buy them?
Thank you

 

Hawk HPS, about $60 in the Group Buy forum. Just be sure to grease all the shims, and to perform the recommended break-in on the box. Or they are goign to SQUEEL! But mine are sweet, noiseless, no dust, bites hard when warmed up.

 

I was lookin at new brakes too

Thanks for the info.

 

on the HPS pads. Very nice, and I dont have the noise issues that some seem to. I greased the shims and followed the bedding procedure on the box.

Definitely get in on the GD, that is a nice price.

 

+2 on the hawk pads, I installed them when I put my "19 wheels on the car, to counter the heavier wheels. Seems like they are not as great when you first get going, but once warm they are a huge improvement.

 

What about the rotors?

I'm lookin at brake service, are the OEM rotors acceptable for the HPS pads or should I go with Brembo cross-drilled???

 

Go with blanks, no point in getting anything else.

 

get the PBR Ultimates....much better than Hawk
