Brake Pads for DD
I need some advice on pads for 09 with the sport brakes. I will be keeping the stock rotors. Front rotors need resurfacing and I will be changing brake fluid as well but that's about it for now since this is a street car with the occasional spirited driving through canyon roads.
Thanks in advance |

I use EBC red stuff... yellow stuff would be even better probably.

I run the project Mu hc+ pads. They're a little squeaky and a little dirty but they offer more of a "sport" feel than the stock pads did.

For what you describe, stock brake pads will be more than adequate. They will be quite, low dust and easy on the rotors. If you go with a hard compound pad built to take the heat of a track then it will most likely be noisy, dusty not work well when cold and cut through your rotors very fast unless run hot all the time.

I run hawk plus pads on track and hawk ceramics for street. The ceramics are nice for DD but definitely fade with track heat.

Get some ceramic w/e pads either the yellowstuff or parts store brand, If you are DD only it really doesn't matter so you might as well get ones that keep your wheels clean.
Edit: unless spirited drive through the canyons means race through the twisties in which case yellowstuff, oem, oem nismo upgrade pad.

I will also echo the OEM statements. I went with Hawk's Performance Ceramic, and they are crap compared to the OEM. The other low dust decent performance budget oriented pads I know of are Centric Posi-Quiets.

I ended up going with OEM pads and had the rotors resurfaced. The front ones needed it badly. I will need rotors next time I do pads so I'll save the SS brake lines for then.
