Hey all,
Am in need of some advice regarding aftermarket pad brands for my DC2. I just recently changed the rear pads (some aftermarket brand that Hanny's use... don't know the name...), and the OEM fronts are basically dead. I'm after something around the $100ish or under range, and have been recommended Bendix Metal Kings so far. Anyone else have any suggestions? :roll:
cheers,
jon.
Honda sell the best pads for ur daily driver. Everything else will just chew ur rotor's or give less performance...
unfortunatly, ur looking at ~$150 for a front set, seeing as though padsfor my eg vti were $130
$90 Bendix "metal king" stock replacements....stop a fair bit better than stockies...and cheaper too :)
And reember...watever pads u choose u should do a full flush and replace the fluid to fresh and squeeky new :)
sssh... UR the recommendation. Don't repeat urself foo... i want other suggestions :PQuote:

So we got someone touting OEM (@$150 a set..ergh) as the best value, and another praising the aftermarket Bendix's.....
anyone else wanna join the fray? :roll:
Bendix will stop u fine, but chew ur rotors. Ask all my friends, they are regretting them. Look at the quality of OEM pads and u will see what i am saying. Nissan boys love bendix/ebc cause stockies suck, they have no other choice :P
ive put em up back to back, and the OEM's come out on top. The only time u would use aftermarket is when going to the track, there are better pads which obsorb heat better.
oem:) = best
Have you asked how much Ferodo DS2500 would be for your car?
They are awesome pads and you'll love them.
Doubt they'd be under $100 though.
EBC ;-)
I dont think so, EBC green stuff has better initial bite, and better pad fade, plus "green stuff" does not add any extra wear to the rotorQuote:

what about Bendix Ultimates? I have been told these r good..
I've got them on the front of my teg...very good but out of his price range....and besides they are designed to be more combo street/track pads. Over $200...can't remember exact figure ;)Quote:

I've still got the same rotors that I had 3 years ago when I bought the car...I only had them ground down once originally when I bought the car...because they were slightly warped to begin with...and that was with the oem brake pads too.
besides...give you an excuse to change your rotors later on jon :p
oh and I've heard mixed things about EBC greens...good for hatches...but not as good for the medium to larger vehicles....heard too many conflicting stories about them (by people who sell brakes) to try them, and you won't get them in that price range anyway.
