Brake Upgrade Pad Option

moore.speed · 06-29-2015, 03:27 PM

I've done plenty of reading and searching the past few weeks and have a couple questions- more so requesting your opinion's.

I purchased some used G37 Akebono's today and will order the sport brake upgrade from Z1 along with it (excluding the calipers of course).

I'm going to choose slotted rotors but wanted opinions on pads. I have a top three in brake pads:
1) Stoptech
2) Hawk HP Ceramic
3) Centri Posi Quiet (ceramic)

My car is a DD and see's spirited driving occasionally. As much as I would like to go to the track soon, that would be at most once a year, if I'm lucky. Opinions on which pad I should go with?

The kit comes with braided stainless steel brake lines and that will be sufficient for install, unless I'm mistaken. If I am needing something other than the calipers and the upgrade kit, fill me in please.

Thanks for your input and enjoy your upcoming fourth of July weekend!
