its dusty wheels are black but due to rain past few days its really dark/smudged dust but it aint too bad since my old oem pads were giving alot of dust at the front. good bite i hope it dont eat my rotors alive.

Got these on my jazz and it's pretty good. Good on dust and brakes good too.

endless pads are the best but price is just abit too much unless their on special my mechanic couldnt get me in the pads for ep3 cause it was more than expensive than pads for his evo. ever considered project mu pads some guys have ran it, whatever you do dont get buddyclubs ive heard bad news about those pads chews up rotors like no tomorrow.

I have NS97 now. It's better than stock and very low dust.
Will track my car soon so will see how good it is.

bendix ult are harsh on rotors. Dusty as ****. Brakes good and cheap.
I've used this on my jazz. Since i got white rims, i never gone back to dusty pads.
johno how much are u getting quoted for endless ns97's?
they're cost about the same as ferodos.

over 350 for fronts

Which model? MX72?
Anything higher than MX72 should strictly be used only for circuit.
NS97 are more for street use and hence cost $220-230 for the fronts. (Same price for rears).

i picked up my NS97 in Japan for $350 front and back.

Direct from a dealer? Cause my mechanic couldn't get it in for a reasonable price so we just went for ferodos

My friends are going Jp after new years. May I should ask them to stock up a bulk of ns97s for me.
Does brake pads have expiry dates like tyres?

i got my back pads changed to aftermarkets ones provided by Hannys.. its been 5 days now and no dust at the back at all.. man my last pads at the back showed up dust instantly... i recommend that if anyone doesn't want dust go and see hanneys and get their preferred after market ones.. have no idea what brand..
my fronts need changing on my next service ima try the NS97.. later frodos..

id say stick to the ns97 because on my sisters sti theres barely any dusts on all four wheels at all but then again its a silver/gunmetal colour and our wheels are bright white.
Poeter

LOL your sister knows her stuff. :thumbsup:

Just came back and the pads seems good. Rear wheels are pretty clean but front is quite black. Didn't seem to fade but at the end of the runs ABS seemed to kicked in a bit.
^ sorry mate I bought them when I last went to Japan.
What's the experience with purchasing on perfect run? i'm looking to buy mx72 and cs rotor from them if the price is right and they're a reliable business
Poeter

I've bought 2 sets of endless pads from them and my friend bought countless of pads + projectmu rotors. Never had any issues with them.
bump up....does anybody know where we can get bendix ultimate brake pads for our ep3s? the official bendix site says ultimates not offered for ep3. im running ultimates right now so im sure theres a compatible model out there
