90IntegraC1 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Endless. Spoon pisses me off just b/c they try to rip everyone off. Endless is still that JDM tight brand, but not ghey like spoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TS John Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 I have high-density AEM pads. Basically slightly nicer OEMs. No squeaks but I deffo noticed better braking. Then again I redid my whole braking system at the same time, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huffa Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Without knowing you driving habits and needs, that's a tough question. I would think for all around everyday normal driving, I would think stock pads can't be beat. I have had quite a few Honda motocross bikes in my time and while that certainly can not be a direct comparison to the cars, it is a known fact that Honda has the best brake pads available for the bikes and I would think that same "rule" would be applied to the cars too. I myself would rather have a softer pad and better braking and a bit quicker wear then a hard pad that is quarenteed for life, needs a bit harder pressure on pedal and can possibly wear the rotors out quicker.

cranny Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 hey SSR ever hear anything on ceramic pads? i kow there out there and people are using them , but ive never heard anything like how hard they are on rotors? how long they last? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS John Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I have no personal experience with them but I believe they should be easier on rotors just because they heat up less, which would mean they would eat into the rotors less (since a hot rotor is easier to deform by hard braking). You seem to do a lot of canyon/twisty driving so now that I think about it I would deffo go with something like I have (higher-density OEMs) for a good resistance to brake fade during those crazy times but normal brake feel day-to-day.

TS John Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Deffo post up a review. I was looking at those when I was in the market but didn't know anything about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 OEM is fine for daily but suck on track. If you don't like swapping pads and bleeding, then use Cobalts on the street and track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steveo989 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Hawk HPS's are an awesome pad Pagid is a really good brand too. AVOID MINTEX at all costs. Not sure if they have Honda Applications but they are a great VW pad. Hope that helps. -Steve. If you want to break your pads in in less than 20 mins, find a back road accelerate to 60 break to 10 and hit 60 again do this 10 times as fast as you can(or significant break fade), and drive for about 10 minutes WITHOUT STOPPING or you will leave deposits on your rotors. Their should be no stops until your pads are cool again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humphries Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 all the help i can give you is get SHIMLESS pads, because some brake pads have a shim on the inside that sometimes breaks off and could possibly slice the rotor. sounds like BS but i have seen it happen.
