Good replacement for OEM Brake Pads
 

Hi guys,

I'm close to having to replace my stock OEM brake pads. Probably a good opportunity to switch to something that performs better than OEM but at the same time looking for something very low on dust and zero to very low noise.

I found and old thread recommending Hawk HPS brake pads but not sure if someone has a better suggestion or are Hawk's my best bet.

My car is a daily driver, 100% street, never sees track. I'm just looking for pads right now.

In the future I might upgrade lines, fluid, and maybe even get some lightweight rotors.

Thanks in advance!

Check out this thread:

Stainless steel lines, DOT4 fluid and lightweight rotors/BBK are all nice to have. Less unsprung weight will add better acceleration/deceleration and handling, on top of improved brake response and reduced fade. Arguable need on a street-only driven car, but SS lines and DOT4 are cheap enough to do.

Hawk ceramics will be best on a car used as yours is. Plenty fine for the street and quiet and clean.

Went through the whole thread, page by page, still have doubts.. LOL! But indeed, very informative.. Thank you!


Thanks Mike. I do some spirited driving as well so I'm assuming you took that into account for your suggestion.. I don't think there's a single Z owner that actually baby's the car and doesn't step on it at least every once in a while.. :driving:

You think these will do? Just looking for a step over stock.. How do these treat the rotors?

They will do. A lot of my Corvette customers run them, and so did I on my corvette when I wasn't on the track. Even on twisties under spirited driving they did fine. Easy on the rotors too

Awesome! Thanks again!
