i use hp+ pads on powerslot rotors. they are hella dusty and squeek in daily driving but i use them for autocross and with 7" wide tires they stop real hard even with the pathetic rear drums. sucks if you hate washing your rims every week

Im using Axxis Ultimate Ceramic Pads and my only complaint is the dust. They have a higher operating temp range than the Hawk pads and are rotor friendly. Find out more here,

I can make the braided steel clutch lines complete. Right from master cylinder to slave cylinder. I have one on my car right now. Only costs around $75 for a one piece using proper fittings. the one fitting is in the shape of a U and is gawdly expensive.

I run HAWK HP+ and yeah like mentioned they are awfully dusty...I dont find a lot of noise, but great for hard driving.

Other great ones I have tried and run in the past are...PBR's, Axxis Strret Compound, and believe it or not...Wagner Ceramics...alll of theose were great for me...not one issue with them..

My fave were the Wagners,because they came with a 2 year warranty, and boy oh boy I swapped 2 or 3 sets ofer the course of the warranty. Not saying the pads suck, but I am harder than most on brakes, and the fact they would swap them for you under warranty was great.

Axxis Ultimate ceramic pads, they are very good for the money . Dusty but great performance. if you are in Cali, i would go for the Hawk street pads.

one thing to note is that with most aftermarket performance pads is that you need to get them to operation temps before they work properly, I have a set of Hawk Street pads and they take a few hard stops to get them to grip hard, when cold they feel like you have just been though a deep pudle of water, kinda scary some times when i need to hit the brakes but only get a stiff pedal lol :thumbsup:

i was thinking of running some endless street-s but then i thought about it, i just need good enough since the hill i live up at will basically eat most of it away.

how about rotors, anyone know any cheap but good brands? im thinking of slotted, but not too sure which brand. so far i found brembo for 195 all four but thats slotted and drilled which im not too fond of since lack of surface area, and i found really cheap ebc dimpled, but dimple traps heat which really defeats the purpose... any recommendations?

how about brembo blanks with a brake colling kit

such as this one, http://www.ajusa.com/cgi-bin/pb/view_product?prod_id=0000000047&sub_loc=0&part_number=AJR%20600%20911&w_model_id=&model_id=0021&ajr_skey=98901f46f13a55105450aef1b5c8b5f9

but not that one because it way way over priced,, best of bolth worlds.. large surface area and lots of cooling
