- Sat Jun 16, 2007 7:29 am #11252 I finally finish my front brake upgrade using the mg 11 inch rotors and the legend 2 piston calipers and the car stops so damn hard and fast it is great. But right now i am using some cheap pads and want to get some good pads. The options i am looking at are:

Project Mu B-Fore

Hawk HP Plus

Axxis Ultimate

Carbonetic C-Spec

All of these pads are good possibilities but i need some info from you guy on which ones you have used or use. I know Hawk HP Plus pads are good since i used those on my other set-up. Keep in mind that this is a dual purpose car (both street and race) and that the caliper fits the same pads as the NSX. Also i will have some pics asap.
Thanx

- Sun Jun 17, 2007 7:10 am #11296 i was also looking into Performance Friction Carbon Metallic Pads...i carry those at work and some people have recommended them to me as well!?

- Mon Jun 18, 2007 2:57 am #11361 so after lots of research and some advice/talking to some people i decided to go with the EBC YELLOWSTUFF pads. If you are curious here is their website and you can check it out as well! I will keep everyone updated on how they compare to many other pads i have used and how well they work racing, etc.

- Sun Jun 24, 2007 8:14 pm #12102 A very very popular choice in Holland is to run Brembo MAX rotors and Ferrodo DS2500 pads.

- Sun Oct 28, 2007 12:38 pm #27782 I'm just about to purchase some AP Dixcel rotors and Hawk HPS pads for my EG6 with 282mm front brake upgrade using prelude calipers, should be pretty good!!

- Tue Oct 30, 2007 1:55 am #27943 I run Hawk HPS pads and I love them. They bite pretty hard but they have a higher heat temperature rating than OEM but.. it means their limit is raised too. It takes a bit to get them warm before they start grabbing really good but when they get up to temp, they are very good with grabing.


Also.. a note: high brake dust.

It seems low brake dust pads suffer at performance but high performance suffers high brake dust. lol
