Default brake pad recommendation

Hi,

I got a new set of brembo brakes(cross drilled).
Wondering if I should just get oem pads or other aftermarket pads. Also, are those aftermarket pads such as Axxis hawk or others are really worth the $$ for normal street use.

Thanks for your input

Get AEM aftermarket brake pads...low dust and great stopping distance/heat resistance there are alot of peepz on this forum with them including myself and they are worth the money.

Yeah I agree with mrbrace. I have AEM pads with my cross drilled/slotted rotors and they stop like a mutha! Well worth the $60+ bucks I paid for the them.

first of all, they're not AEM pads... they're made by nissin and marketed here in the states by AEM, but yeah.. if i had to suggest brake pads, those would be the ones i'd reccomend.

What do you guys think of Bendex ( Hopefully thats the right spelling ).
I got those instead of AEM/Nissin pads.
Their stopping power is far greater than the OEM pads even though im still riding on stock rotors.

AEM Pads or Axxis Metal Masters. I have used them on cross drill rotors and have no problem with them
