i took my brakes apart to paint the callipers, and saw that i needed new pads. i dont wanna go the stock route. i want something that will preform well, but is ok for daily driving, so nothing competition that will squeel like a bitch. i do a little autox but thats about it. what kind shud i get?

 

Squeeliing brakes are brakes that were not installed properly. I like my brakes, much better stopping power, not too bad with dust, and it washes off easily. They don't make any noise. BTW, you will need an impact screwdriver to remove the rotors so they can be turned or replaced

 

just the axxis ultimate brake pads will make better stopping power? and i think the rotors are ok.

 

Axxis Ultimates are real good street brake pads, the do dust alot but they are quite. If you want some more aggrisive pads, call Andie @ http://www.cobaltfriction.com or Matt @ http://www.carbotecheng.com . They both sell ultimates and they both offer a street pad that is more aggresive than ultimates.

 

after about 2 weeks, i decided on the Ultimates with the brembo oem replacement rotors. i bought both from importrp.com

the ultimates DUST A LOT. i havent gotten a chance to see how easy the dust comes off though. those pads are enough for the street. although i wish they had a little more bite in them. but for daily driving and emergency braking, they do well enough. and for the ~$40 price tag...its a :thumbup: from me.

btw, PBR and Axxis Ultimates are the same pads.

 

I have the Ultimates, and I think they're great street pads. They're just as smooth and progressive as stock (if not even a bit more so), and clamp pretty hard when you push them. They're not the best track pads, but they may very well be the best street pads on the market.

They may dust a lot, but I wouldn't know... I have steelies/bronze wheels. Besides, I don't clean my car ever anyway h:

 

I've had a lot of success with Wagner ThermoQuiets..They stop really well, and almost no brake dust and aren't expensive..Had them on my Civic, and I'm putting them on my Teg..

 

get them turned, it is the right way to do it. Upgraded pads can make a very big difference in stopping power

 

Without a doubt.......Hawk HPS The most unbelievable stopping power of OEM rotors and Calipers. Plus, if you wash the rotors before you install the pads, they dont squeal.
