ok i have a 06 g35x with 20 inch chrome rims which are heavy so i feel that i dont have the same braking power that i have than when i have my stock wheels on so im changing to cross drilled and slotted premium rotors but i wanna know from somebody with enough knowledge whats da best type of brake pad name brand and type as in semi metallic ,ceramic and all the rest

 

hawk hps ceramic brake pads

 

best for what?
Best cold stopping power is going to be oem pads.

But you are correct, stopping those boat anchors is going to be harder than before.

 

For daily driving I think the hawks suck...cold stopping power is not good at all. stay with oem.

 

Bbk!

 

I don't wanna go with oem, tons of brake dust on the 03 sedan with the oem pads

 

I hate the oem because they dust like crazy, but they are very very grabby. I would stick to oem if you don't want to press a little harder on the pedal.

 

The 05+ rwd and 06+ awd pads don't dust much at all

 

How are the hawk ceramics on dust? I know the ceramic pads I had on my TA didn't dust much at all. I'm going to need a pad that doesn't dust because of the paint scheme I'm going to be going with on my new wheels.

 

the hawk pads dust much less than oem pads. They dust a rust color that I really hate and turn your tires a dark brown. They last much longer than oem and are much less grabby. I prefer the feel over the oem which really grab with the slightest pressure. overall, I'm really happy with them. Just hate the color of the dust.

 

id recommend project mu's, but after i got the bbk, it was soo much better!

 

Before you spend a penny on brakes buy new rims. Those you have are HIDEOUS!!

 

If anything, that's gonna make braking worse .

Solid rotors are better at cooling and resistance to face than swiss-cheesed rotors.

The OEM rotors are not that bad, but if oyu need to buy new rotors, then i'd suggest either cryo-treated solid rotors (stresses releived so less prone to "warp" or a rotor from Brembo or such that is lacking in any sort of holes.

You may wants to look into a BBK, or OEM Brembo brakes as well.

 

duralast gold works nice $34 at autozone no dust..

 

^ I think im goin with those
