i did a search on "brake" and "brakes" and nothing came up about pads


HAWK,
TRD
EBC

any other companies i should look into?

thoughts and reviews please?

i have zero knowledge about new brake pads.

do i have to get my rotors resurfaced if i get new pads or anything?


pros and cons please

 

axxis ultimates are suppose to be real good according to stoptech. the con is that it dusts alot

 

bump?

 

well for me i went with porterfield brake pads.. carbon/kevlar.. it's what I put on my old civic (haven't needed to replace the tC's yet).. they were the R4S compound.. was the street formula.. good in all temps and no need to "warm up" the pads for them to work right.. good stuff.. no need to get new rotors..

here's their website.. it's what I'd recommend.. http://www.porterfield-brakes.com/pads.html

looks like their database is down.. but i know that they were like $90 a set (front) and $80 for rear for the civic.. to give you an idea of what they cost.. great part was.. they will probably last til 50-60k miles.. very nice investment!

It does get a little dirty in about a week noticeably, but if you wash your car more often that not, you will be ok. Plus it adds to that gunmetal look...

 

correct.
