brakes

[SINBAD]

Ok its time for new pads and rotors. Any suggestions? Stick with the factory? The stuff on ebay? I dont track the car, its a every other weekend type of car. I would like to of course inprove it, but no need for a major brake kit/upgrade.

Thanks for the suggestions.

The stock NSX brakes are very, very good.

What makes you think you need to replace the rotors? Unless they are cracked, or too thin, there's no need to replace them.

I've been extremely pleased with the GT Sport brake pads from Cobalt. They have a nice bite (a bit more than stock), yet they work well when cold and they almost never squeal. They also hold up to the occasional track event.

Most of the parts I've seen on eBay are not as good as what you can get elsewhere.

I use Axxis Pads for my BMW and Porsche. For Non Track applications.
The Pads grip nice and give off low amounts of dust.

I use Axxis Pads for my BMW and Porsche. For Non Track applications.

The Axxis "Deluxe Plus" pads are the renamed version of their "metal masters". They are crap and I would not recommend them for an NSX, even if it is only driven on the street.

The Axxis "Ultimate" pads are okay, but still not as good as stock and not as good as the Cobalt GT Sport pads.

99% of the time OEM brakes will suffice. There is really no need to upgrade unless you like the bling (we all do) or track your car a lot.:smile:

I have always used the Endless 6 pot caliper kit with Zeal 2 piece slotted rotors on all my cars including my S2000 and now NSX. CCR and CCX pads to compliment the BBK. Is it overkill on the street? Heck yes, but sometimes with sponsorship deals you cant really pass them up especially at 60% off.:smile:

If you are not tracking the car then Stock brakes/rotors/clutch will be more than sufficient.

btw, what does this have to do with General Motorsports

Stay with the stock brake pads and avoid brake squealling, excess brake dust, etc. They are designed to work at normal street temperatures and are very good. They are quite acceptable for a novice track drivers as well. No need to change!

I just ordered the Colbalt GTS pads and some drilled rotors from Dali.

I track it occassionally, but wanted it to be completely streetable. I will let you know what I think once they're installed next week.

I'm very happy with my Dali drilled/slotted Rotors (Powerslot blanks). I think they are a great alternative to OEM at a lower price.

I would stay away from Axxis pads in any form. The "Ultimate" dust like no other. OK performance, but you can get the same or better performance with other pads:

Project Mu, Cobalt GT, Carbotech Panther Plus and Hawk are popular choices among NSX owners. Project Mu dusts remarkably little for an aftermarket pad and has nice bite with little to no fade at the track.

OEM pads are excellent but will begin to fade after heavy track use. They also dust very little. A great stock pad nevertheless.

For a more aggressive option, the new Dali BBK is available for about $1000 (Front). It will be track tested at the Spring Mountain track 4/15/06. I will be upgrading to that myself after the (hopefully) positive results come in. :smile:

brembo slotted rotors/ hawk hps pads. the fade resistance is pretty damn good.
