Are you looking for pads or brakes?

vipor · 02-23-2010, 02:52 PM

"Best Brakes" lawl isn't that the OReilly store brand?

For daily driving purposes, you should be fine with just replacing the pads and fluids. Like dad suggested, go with the Hawk HPS pads.

It appears you have sport brakes from your sig/avatar so I don't think you NEED to upgrade rotors. I thought pads would make the most difference for street driving. I thought rotors were more or less for the high temps associated with the track and thus for the street might be over kill. They do look nice though and from what i've seen slotted rotors are the better of the two (slotted vs drilled).

ok

370zproject · 02-24-2010, 03:08 PM

someone should make a poll with the brands of pads and the fluid type >.>

vipor · 02-24-2010, 03:51 PM

A poll for different pads wouldn't be ideal as they are typically used for different applications. Street, Street/Track/HPDE, Track, Heavy Track. For example, Carbotech makes awesome pads for Track use, but doesn't really make streetable pads.

The fluid is pretty much down to just 2 choices, most of the time ending with Motul RBF600

Endless SS-M's are very good. The M stands for minimal noise and dust. For a Cheaper alternative you should try hawk hps or endless ss-y.
