Best Brake Pads.......any suggestions??

[Deuce]

Aloha All,

I just purchased some cross drilled/slotted rotors and will be using my stock calipers. Can anyone suggest a good brake pad?? Are these any good??

Thanks!!!

Depends on the usage.
I assume you want something more aggressive than stock.

I (and many others on Prime) love the Carbotech Panther Plus.
They are great for the track and the street.

I have some Feroto DS2500. They are pretty good, but they tend to squek when its cold and they dust a lot more than OEM pads.

I have the DALI Racing Street/Track pads. Pretty good in my opinion, and can be had at a good price. Just my $0.02

Carbotech is the best

Depends on what you want out of your car. The stock Acura pads are very good for street driving, even aggressive street driving. Fairly expensive, but last forever and little to no dust.

Contact Larry or Matt at Carbotech. They have several different compounds, of which the Panther Plus as Donymo mentioned being a great combo pad. Their new Bobcat pad is similar to the Axxis Ultimate, and is probably better suited as 70/30 Street/Track. Larry or Matt will not steer you wrong.

Private me if you have any more questions.

Thanks for all the info guys!! I don't track my car at all, mainly weekend street driving. It's always good to know you have the "good stuff" just incase an emergency comes up. I'll be making some calls today.....

I only use the best pads out there: Cobalt. I've used the other brands mentioned before, but the support from Cobalt is second to none. Period!

Give Andie a call, since he's also an NSX owner he knows firsthand what the best set-up will be for your needs.

Here's another enthusiastic endorsement of Andie at http://www.cobaltfriction.com/ He knows a heck of a lot about brakes, and can recommend something to fit your specific needs and budget. Oh, and his prices are great, too!
