It would be DB1393 part number for front. My mate bought it yesterday and fitted in.

Not much I can find on them other than them being made in Japan.
Anyone tried ET300 or ET500? I'm looking at BBK and FastBrakes are the only ones I can find in budget. What is the diameter or the stocked rotor anyway? Oh and how do the Hawk Ceramic, HP and HP+ compare? mainly street driving, but some track work, not much. Bendix ulti's wear out the rotors pretty fast, and dust like a bitch.
Hawk ceramic should be good and would probably outlast your rotor.Quote:

Ah, sweet. I'm just noting that the HP+ are more aggressive, so more for track, much like the ET500, so they're out for me. HPS vs Ceramic though, how would they compare? And are there anywhere cheaper than H/T? H/T seem to be pushing ET300 though.Quote:

Bendix GCT are good, but a bit expensive. Honda OEM was pretty good too. Horsepower make decent pads for road use, however they dust like a bitch. I would avoid.
Performance pad wise, I'll go QFM HPX. Apparently, they perform similarly to Bendix Ultimates, but don't dust like a bitch. I'm using them now, ($79 a pair from GSL) and am very happy with them. No squeeks or anything. Haven't taken them to the track yet. Will do that in a few months time. Made in Australia too, so win.
Any recommendation for rotors to match in the similar price range of the QFM pads?Quote:

OEM ones are $70 (DBA street series). I didn't bother asking about the RDA one though.Quote:

Ceramic/CA I think they're called are 1-2 step above OEM [depending on factory brake pad and your car's spec, it might be a downgrade if its a high end 'sport' car]. They're very user friendly, good pedal modulation and good initial bite. Produces very minimal dust too =)

You only need 4000/5000 when going for pads say like the HPS [4000] or HP+ [5000]
Hey guys,
Anyone used before Akebono brake pads?
Heard they're pretty good... almost no dust at all...
Had a look on their website and it's only showing the part number for rear only...
