#16787, "eh. I'm too rough on brake pads. What should I get?>"




          

My car goes through more pads in a year than a woman does. *not really*

What are some pads that work out pretty nice, don't wear down quick, and don't produce brake dust as bad? Or can you not get it all in 1 package? I hear good things about EBC green stuff pads. Anyone know if they are good? Also, where is a good place to get them? Advance here prolly doesn't have them.

I dunno what I have really. I went by my dad's shop and he was about to make a parts run to advance. I was like, "while you're out; get the best pads the have." I gave him some money and he came back with the pads. They suck tho. I am rough on brakes. I don't stop 100 feet back. I'mma try some EBC's if I find where to get them.

well i work with a company that puts on a lot of shows, computer , home, speed/sports. on the last one i went to a lot of the vendors, talked to them about our members and possible group buys...

amoung 300 aluminum radiators ( shipped), ss brake line deals and such I talked to the ebc company. I should really look into this and see if we can get a deal going gb or maybe 2gnt permanent deal...who knows...?

I have EBC Red Stuff pads, damn fine product. They are dusty though, aka their claim is false :p. But I love em. Definately worth the cash.

I have EBC's right now. They suck. They burn up more dust than you can imagine, and they don't stop as nicely as my old autozone specials did. I was able to get a good deal one them, and now I regret it. They were pretty nice in the beginning, but once all that green stuff burns off, which is pretty quickly, they sucked ass in a hurry.

I want something new right now myself.

how about cf pads? or kevlar. whatever? are those better than the metal masters or whatever. I have also heard good things about those. What's the best thing to get good braking and not a ton of dusting? someone has to know.

I am VERY pleased with my KVR carbon fiber pads and cross-drilled rotors. Stops beatifully, no fade, no warping, and very little brake dust.

For those in the market, Jason and others, I highly recommend these pads! I bought then from a place called SP Motorsports. http://www.spmotorsports.com
