Hey fellas, Been doing some research and checking out the various posts about the after market options for brake pads. I am tried of this dust and noise with the OEMS. I wanted to see what you thought about the following pads. HAWK PERFORMANCE BRAKE PAD SET EBC Redstuff Satisfied GS6
Sorry CentralTex, but I have to disagree. I have Satisfieds on right now and they're very soft (no bite) at less than 1/2 pedal. They probably have similar terminal stopping distance to the stockers, but they just don't have the same bite. Although, there is a lot less dust. If you want stock-like performance (but similar dust), check out the EBC Yellowstuffs. They're easier on rotors than the reds, but will need to be changed sooner.
Do you have the GS6 or GS5 pads I've heard that the EBC pads did not mesh well with the drilled/slotted rotors
This is only my opinion...But I drive 2 different GCSRT8's, one with stock pads, and one with the Satisfied GS6 pads, and honestly, there is minimal difference. Unless you REALLY pay attention to it, you really can't tell. But like I said, only my opinion...And Wade only loves his GS6 pads so much because he bought them from me...:angel:
I have the yellows and they stop better then the stocks and a little less dust...200 bucks shipped to my door.
I highly recommend the EBC Reds if you want low duist and a great street and teck pad, I have over 15k miles on mine and 2 track days and love them! http://www.bmcspeedshop.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=ebc+6.1 The Yellows will stop even better but will still have some dust We also carry the Hawk pads, and Hawk makes some good pads as well http://www.bmcspeedshop.com/product_p/hwk-hb563f-656.htm http://www.bmcspeedshop.com/product_p/hwk-hb194f-570.htm http://www.bmcspeedshop.com/product_p/hwk-hb194n-665.htm http://www.bmcspeedshop.com/product_p/hwk-hb194z-665.htm
