Brakes Wheels 1st Gen Tires Most liked posts in thread: What brake pads do you use. A reference

Endorsed and recommended by David.0 His favorite pads....

EBC Redstuff.....

 

EBC Redstuff.....DAVE!!!???

 

Was very happy with Akeebonoo's....nearly dust free.
One suggestion is, USE THEM HARD on occasion.....went a few weeks driving very gently once, and they felt like they had to be broken in again.....
Ended up putting stop-tecs on the back (needed them fast, and they were pretty cheap)...made the REARS more dirty than the fronts

 

EBC Greenstuff pads and StopTech slotted rotors suit me fine for my MINI.

 

I've remained a Hawk user for several years, pinching a set of Zimmerman rotors.

 

HAWK HPS for the street.
Wilwood B for the Track.

 

Autozone ceramics, inexpensive, feel great , no black dust - free replacements for life (they don't say whose life tho)

I don't need track pads anymore, but I think these would have done fine, and if I wore them out running the track - free replacements!

I don't understand you peeps running race pads on the street, where do you live that you can drive aggressively enough to get them up to temp, and how do you keep your lic driving like that? :eek6:

 

Lol mark this as sarcasm

 

For street:

CoolCarbon

Much better bite before they warm up than HPS, but a bit more dust,
and a bit more noise at low speeds (just before stopping).
Not as much dust as OEM.
Very good warmed up, too.

For track:

well, I don't track or autox, so have to leave this blank.

 

+1 for the Cool Carbon's...fantastic pad.

Still sporting the power slot rotors.

 

I like R4-1 Porterfield pads. They have the initial bite of a racing pad and work at low temperatures.
