When I changed my pads I neglected to loosen the parking brake nut before I pumped the brakes back up to pressure (and then checking the adjustment naturally follows that) which you're apparently supposed to do h:

 

I have been using Axxis Ultimates for a while now. They don't have any over-boosted initial bite, provide a firm pedal with easy modulation, don't squeal too much, and make a good amount of dust. Warm them up a little bit and they slow the car down right quick. With alacrity, even.

Apparently Carbotech Bobcats are the the be-all end-all of street performance pads but cost like twice as much.

 

I put Hawk HPS on the front and some random pads in the back on my wife's car. Works great.

 

i had Axxis on my integra and liked them....

they seemed to be relatively low dust and they clamped down nicely. i could go from real fast to stopped in a hurry.

i also had Brembo blanks and SS braided lines, for whatever that is worth...

 

Well I need better than random pads in the rear because my brake bias is close to 60/40

 

Ey, whatever works for you. On her car it's more like 80/20; the front rotors have well over twice the surface area of the rears. So I wasn't about to spend $80 on rear pads that don't do anything.

 

I was the same with the GSR. But the rears are bigger than the GSR fronts so $$$

 

ive never heard of any breaking distribution being anywhere near 60/40....

most are like 87/13 or at most 80/20

are you sure you arent talking about the weight distribution? h:

 

I read it somewhere, but I'm double-checking right now.

 

Okay, it is close to 60/40
