brake pads for dc5R

hey guys,

just got RAC to check over my car yesterday.. they advised me i need to get my front disc brakes changed on my DC5R..

any recommendations on what brand to get? i dont want ot go for expensive aftermarket brake pads like endless cas i havent modified my car yet and cant justify the cost until its highly modified..

...then again.. i dont want the cheapest one thats gonna cause lots of brake dust everywhere

any1 know of good brands that are good value for money and don't cause too much brake dust?

or should i go for oem from honda? probably as expensive as endless :D

why dont you just get bendex ...or the OEM ones..simple solution

For "value" i have heard good things for Bendix Ultimate pads..

RB74s..........i've heard nothing but good stuff about them :)

Are the Bendiex Ultimate and RB74 going to do any damange on the rotor?

i went to auto1 today..

bendix ultimate is $150.00 (front pair)

is that alright price.. considering im in western australia..

Errrmmm........ i am not sure but.... dc2 vti-r one cost $100 only......... -_-
dc5r one should be exactly the same as s2000, try to ask around

go get urself sum NSX pads :P...or some fully siic brembo's...wait...you said inexpensive...aww no fun

i'd go for endless brake pads.. but dont see the point if my car is std at the moment..

when i went to auto 1 they dont have it in their catalogues.. same as midas, so might go to supercheap or repco.. see how much they are selling it for.

ANy decent performance pad will eat abit of your stock rotors.

You have to comprimise :)

In that case should just get OEM ones:rolleyes: for the moment anyway;)

go the cheaper range of endless then... they will probably be better than stock...

there's no Rb74's for dc5's

Endless EuroX rock !!! ;)

called honda the other day.. $230.00 for OEM brake pads, plus $50.00 to fit.. i might as well get endless for that price..

on cypher industries website; ENDLESS TYPE NA-Y from from $254.10.. need to call them and find out how much for my application..

has any1 used these pads before? being near the bottom of the range of endless.. are they very dusty brake pads? otherwise might get oem and get a friend to fit them for me...

also, any one else know any decent workshops in perth that i can get decent brake pads and installed? thanks..

oh.. i've called a few places and bendix don't do dc5r :rolleyes:

Endless type NA-M... any good any1??

TYPE NA-M (from $444.40) (cypher website)

Xspeed they quoted me $220.00.

I wanted to get NA-Y's but they dont have any in stock.. problem is that NA-M operates from 100 degrees.. is this ok for daily driving? i probably wont brake hard unless i go like really hard or something once in a blue moon.. so dunno if its safe or not, does any1 know std operating temp of brakes on dc5r?

thanks for your help..

no to 100 deg up
it will not bite when it is cold and u just left the house

eg winter morning, trying to get to work, just left the house, need to brake, BANG

endless all the way mate!

I'm using SSMs..... they're great.... a bit squeaky at first but they bite really well on track.... fine on street....
