Brake Pads

[Akkord29]

I know this has been covered a hundered time :shifty:
What pads would you recommend on a daily driver. I plan on putting drilled/slotted rotors.
Should I get ceramic pads? I have stock rotors now with Mintex pads and they squeek like crazyy and
recently my car started to get alot of vibration under braking.

Jay,

Before the StopTech's I ran Porterfield RS-4 pads. Great pad and low dust. However, you have to heat those up for good stopping power. I know that I sell EBC's on my website. The EBC Red's seem to be popular with the low dust feature. The EBC Green's are a little better not requiring as much heat for stopping. However, they do provide more dust than the Red's. I didn't have the StopTech's on my car I'd get the EBC Dimpled/Slotted rotors with the EBC Red pads.

Yea, I plan on getting the EBC Dimpled/Slotted rotors and the Red pads once I get the refund from my warranty.

Ken, would getting just the front rotors act ok w/out the rears right off? Not going to get both sets at the same time.

Are the reds ceramic?

You can replace just the front rotors. That will not cause any problems.

Jay,

The Reds are ceramic. You can view the chart at the bottom of the page here:
