Break Pads for Ek

[hondavti25]

Hey Guys, I need new break pads and honda brisbane is out of stock so I thought it be a good opportunity to upgrade them to something a little better. Any one have some suggestions on what I could put in. Its for an EJ8 something decent would be good as later on I hope to upgrade to a B18c2 fingers crossed.

PS. Should my break pads have been done on my last major service (80,000) which was only done 12,000 ago.

Cant go wrong with OEM.

Cant go wrong with OEM.

Aftermarket is better than OEM for brake pads.

Andy@AKMotorworks sells his own `K2 pads`,I haven`t tried them but I reckon they will be tops!

Not sure if they dust much,might have to email him to find out.

I want to hear what others recommend as I am wanting to buy soon too.

TRW/Lucas pads are real good
dust up like crazy thou.

[mocchi]

for daily driving i still believe oem is best. low dust and cold bite.

[beeza]

For a normal driven daily ya cant go wrong with OEM but many aftermarket pads out perform OEM if ya wanting something better.

Hi Mocchi! :)

Though, finding aftermarket pads for mine was one hell of a running around. Make sure you mention weather its a Cxi, Gli, Type R or what not some retards like to get these mixed up.

dont make the mistake of buying super pads and think you can just use them on the street.

most of them do not heat up for awhile. and some mornings you will forget, then pump the brakes, and your car will go straight through that intersection~~

ferodo makes good pads, bang for buck.

[beeza]

You might even need to take the pad off and scan it,then fax it to them but traders on here should be able to send you the right ones,without the mucking around.

What pads did you get Timmy,how were they?

I have OEM at the rear and trust pads on the front,the trust ones are quite good although it`s hard to tell....they do dust a bit though.

THAT`s handy to know! Damn,cheers hisoka :thumbsup:

[hisoka]

no worries~!

beeza, go to the bendix website, it has outline of the pads so u dont have to scan the bastards . you just click ure model~the 242 bit in the part number is corresponding to disc size i beleive

Your a wealth of GREAT information hisoka,thanks champion!!

[Typhoontimmy]

Bendix, they aint too bad. I liked the no bedding in thing. One hell of a job finding the right ones... let this be a message Townsville clearly doesnt know Hondas.

[beeza]

HAHA Timmy,funny as man!! :)

btw,I have a feeling this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ky7UxepxTXg) fella lives in townsville,do you know him at all,he is on here,somewhere...lol

[vinnY]

heard good things about qfm pads
aussie business too

[beeza]

Really Vinny,do they dust,do you know,not that it really bothers me but my front wheels are always black and the rear not lol :)

[vinnY]

who knows, i run ds2500's :p

apparently they aren't too horrible on dust though from what i've heard

[beeza]

Sha-weeet!

I think I will try Andy`s K2 pads next,he has been giving them good wraps to me hehe :)

[Typhoontimmy]

Well if that guy lives in Townsville Beeza hes doing a great job hiding his car! I'd say hes up in Carins few hardcore Civics up that way so I've been told.

[hondavti25]

Has any one on here used the pads from AK? There decently priced but not to sure if i want to go for the K1 or K1-2. Any suggestions? Just got the car back from honda today and its a mess :( so there will be alot more needed then break pads.

haha,right.It could be rockhampton :p

Can always leave a message on youtube but yeah,damn good power figures from the y4!

I wonder how long the engine will last,that custom intake manifold is MASSIVE :eek:

[hondavti25]

Yeah beeza I am gonna try the k1-2 pads out. also the guy at AK said you might have a half cut?

All depends on the tune and how well its built. The engine is only as strong as the weakest point, I'll put my money on the driveline going first.

Nice nice.Yup,here (http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123296) she is.

Cheers mate.

[beeza]

Yeah that`s the thing with going big boost,something always seems to be braking.A labour of love..

agreed, i have them, i love them, much better than stock, better than bendix ultimates and a hell of alot cheaper as there is no middle man. low dust too :thumbsup: i have the HPX series. although i might try the A1RM's next time around just to see how they go.

[beeza]

^^ Where did you buy,sounds good!

[quang]

i got them from QFM, guy called greg is the distributor for them. he's on most forums, otherwise hit up www.gslrallysport.com and email him, or you can try and contact him through the ebay store.

[beeza]

Thanks quang!

Cheers mate.
