I am leaning toward AEM. Only becuase I have access to them through our auto parts store.

Don't get anything from EBC. I had their pads and they glazed over in 3 months. Crap pads.

I've been using AEMs for 2 years with no problems. Worked great for me all autocross season.

I'm thinking about upgrading to Hawk HP+ but they wear through rotors a bit quicker at the expense of more bite.

maybe my experience was rare, but I really liked my greenstuffs, I had them for nearly 2 years without any problems.

Anyway, I highly reccomend Axxis Ultimate. They grab wonderfully, feel pretty nice through the pedal, and I have yet to get them to feel sloppy from heat (although I also have slotted rotors and steel lines)

raceconcepts.net buy them here, these guys are the shiznit.

Sorry to repeat myself.:fawk:

BTW... I don't brake when I autocross, I've only got 92hph:

I don't know why some people had problems with greenstuff becuase like I said I have had mine on since May andno problems, and this is with braking from 100mph+ down to 25mph on a daily basis.

Are the aem pads pretty soft? I don't want to chew up my rotors in 10k miles. Has anyone just used regular rabestos pads?
