brake pads?

[mugen_ctr]

Having recently discovering how bad my brakes were, iev opted to get new pads for the front...
What are ur experiences with good pads? im not wanting super expensive pads, just some that make for good stopping, dry an wet, an definate not racing pads lol

Atm its only front disc an rear drum, next year will be doin rear brake converison, so for now im just wanting front pads

Iev been told EJ an EM1 use same front calipers, is it true? i sure hope so lol

thanks

What's 'expensive' to you?

Maybe try Endless pads if you're not too strapped for money, but otherwise I would try Bendix Ultimates (not Bendix Heavy Duty apparently they're shit).

100 upto 200 or so, I dont plan on trackin any time soon

Then I'd just go Bendix Ultimate

[blabla]

ultimates are over priced i can ebc green stuff for 165 a set.

JDM yard acre look good, they are 175 a set I think?

Endless are expensive

i would get EBC green stuff or project MJU best stop

At the end of the day brake pads surely aren't the thing to go cheap on. Pay decent money for a decent product man

and change them yourself

The money you save on labour could be put towards buying more expensive pads

ive got bendix ct's they stop well in all weather and they were only like $70 - $80 and doesnt have brake dust, and dont forget to get your rotors machined flat or just buy new ones i just bought new ones which ended up being $35 more than machining the old ones

I just bought EBC ultimax pads off ebay for my EG civic for $65 delivered, they seem fine, just like OEM I guess, probably a bit better. There's also EBC greenstuff pads on ebay for around $150. I deemed these not necessary for my car seeing as its a daily driver runabout.

yea good advice about the rotors

Im leaning towards bendix an green stuff, as iev read few good stuff about em, either way, they both would perform way better than oem Lol

Any point in getting slotted rotors, or just stick to machined oem disc?
