you'll see and feel more from a very good brake bleed.... GSuperR had a nite and day difference just by getting his prelude properly bled .

Brembo Slotted, the drill ones have been known to crack, and most brake pads won't produce enough "gases" to cause significant brake fade

PBR Metal Masters, the OEM company for many exotic cars in europe such as porsche...etc

stock lines ... a good bleed and its pretty set
stock calipers
Dot 3/4 high performance fluid


1) if you buy new rotors I suspect they are already properly surfaced...so I don't see why you need to resurface them *not sure though*

2) the bumpy feeling is warped rotors, warped/cracked pads or you are hitting the brakes hard enough to activate the ABS

3) the grind is normal under hard braking, I hve the same thing on my car

4) not too sure, if you don't try stopping on a dime around every corner you won't dust too much.... mine doesn't really dust unless I really am aggressive

 

My brake setup is to the left of my gas.

 

Stock rotors; Axxis metal-masters up front. Used them for 1 track day and several auto-x's, grip very very well and have good cold bite for the street..

BUT

they make a crapload of brake dust, destroying my precious LE's. I personally wouldn't mind a more aggressive pad (Hawks HPS maybe? Axxis ultimates?) but my biggest gripe is the brake-dust. You would think a street pad would produce less dust than a track pad but I guess I'm wrong here. I've been told that the metal masters are the most aggressive street pad out there.

My stock rotors have been through one resurfacing and that was one too many. I plan to stick to brembo blank rotors as a direct replacement (cheaper if you're going to auto-x/track often) and in addition to getting more aggressive pads upgrade the brake lines (not sure which brand) and brake fluid.

I'm tempted to get slotted rotors or pay big bucks for a brake kit, but given the abuse of track days/auto-x they would be mega expensive to replace; not to mention my stopping power is adequate for now.

I have heard that the AEM pads are hardly better than OEM; can someone verfiy this or dispute this?

i use my feet...like the flinstones...ha ha :fawk:

just kidding, i'm...

Stock
Stock
Stock
and Stock

 

when putting in the flintstones setup, do you have a diagram of where to cut the foot holes out?

 

i dont know if they are better than stock ones because i bought my car used and it had used stock pads. but when i got aem it was a whole different story they work really well in my opinion

 

im using those. those give off A LOT of dust for some reason. and makes noise.

 

Stock GSR brake discs! :thumbup: heheh although i think its the same on all G3 tegs
Hawk performance brake pads... dope pads and great price!
everything else stock......ok so i guess i just have upgraded pads h:

 

I have CDR cross drilled rotors (I hope they stay that way after the winter stops by) with KVR Performance pads. There is some grinding noise just before coming to a complete stop.

I'm not crazy about these pads since they seem to have a softer initial bite than stock and the rears appear rusted since the pads release a rust coloured brake dust. They seem to work well when I really stomp on the brake peddle though.

I guess I need to get the brakes bled again to see if that helps initial stopping.

do those pads give off a lot of dust or noise?

im between those or AEM ceramics.
