Well on my way down to MD i knew my rotors were warped,but on the way back they are now .

So now i bought brembo x drilled/slotted rotors.I am wondering what some of you would recommend for pads.I am gonna do the brakes on all 4 corners and keep in mind my hatch is a Dx,so it has drums on the back.
What would some of you recommend as far as pads for the front and shoes for the back?
I have been told Greenstuff makes some good stuff.Any other sugg. would be appreciated.Thanks!

Just make sure you sure metalic or semi-metalic pads with those rotors.

EBC pads tend to chunk under heavy use...

I would run with Hawk HPS or HP+, also Axxis Metal Masters or Ultimates. Porterfield R4S are damn good too.

well it all depends on what your looking for corey. If you want less dust, semi metallic, carbon, etc, etc. I would go with AEM pads, I used them on my upgraded rotors on my 00 coupe and I liked them when they heated up, they would stop on a dime. Look into getting some upgraded brake lines too, for an extra 100 bucks you can increase stopping power alot.

Porterfield R4S..... for sure...

Thats what i'm running on the fronts and plan to run all around.. They are a GREAT pad for the street while also being able to handle track use if they need to.

They will dust... But thats a minor thing to worry about in my book..

Just street use... If you want brakes that won't squeal or dust very little alot then Akebono ceramics would be the way to go.

Aren't the porterfield's pretty pricey compared to Axxis/AEM?
