New Front Brake Pads

[WhiteT3]

I need new pads for my front breaks. What are the best to get, how much should I expect to pay, and where should I buy them. Thanks for the help. Jace.

Don't buy the SBS touring they suck. I have the Portfield R4S on my car now and they are working out really good. I would have to find the receipt, but they were around 230 for the front and rear shipped from Portfield.

Check out hawk pads i have heard they are good.......enjoy.

Stay away from Raybestos as well. I would try the Hawk HPS pads.

[maoun]

yeah...i run the plus all the time....they're awesome.....very squeaky though

 

[WhiteT3]

Maoun: "squeaky?". No, I would like to have quiet brakes. Anything thing else? Thanks for the help.

the factory pads for the front are relatively dust free and quiet. they just dont last very long. thats ok though because changing brakes on these cars takes seconds.

Anyone use Performance friction Z rated pads

 

[coleman]

Way2QWK, yes, i do. They seem to work fine for me :shrug:

I had them, but the inside pad was slightly larger then stock and was rubbing on the inside of the smooth area on the passenger side. It was fine when cold and normal temperature, but when hot it had a unique vibration. It was probably isolated and could have been fixed with new rotors.

I run Hawk HPS on the front. They squeal a little when cold but other than that they're fine.

i'm running HAWK street performance pads on the front and i've got brake dust like whoa! thinking of picking up ceramic pads next time... hear they produce less dust.

The SBS ceramic pads are way dustier then stock and they squeak badly. I have heard ceramic pads were better, but I haven't seen it yet.

How bad do they dust?

Im looking for brakes as well, but I want to stay as low dusting as possible, but I also want the performance. So if I can avoid it, awesome, if not, I can deal with it.
