whats up guys. i just picked up my 04 Coupe 6MT Brembo the other day so i'm new to the forum. i need to replace the pads and was wondering if i could get some suggestions on which pads to go with and where to get them. Thanks!

 

if you don't mind all that brake dust, you can just go with brembos. I got really annoyed but the excessive brake dust that comes on the wheels so I switched to HAWK pads. I'm really happy with them.

 

When my stock ones were donezo, I bought some Project MU NS pads. They were $200 I think for all 4. They stop just as well as the Brembos, just a lot less brake dust. I don't remember where I bought them from though.

 

Hey what's going on. I'm a sedan owner but I have my Hawk HPS street pads for almost a year (think I purchased from Auto Parts Warehouse online vendor). They're good for low brake dust and minimal noise but don't have quite the initial cold brake bite as in the stock pads. The pad material is stronger than in the soft OEM pads. These Hawks have met my expectations for sure.

BTW where in Orlando are you from? We have quite a handful of members from O-town, and if you ever need help for installing brake pads, just let me know.

 

yeah i was thinking of going with hawk pads. i'll look into the project mu ones also.
lex, thanks i'll let you know. i'm near the millenia area.

 

hawk hps and project mu ns are 2 pretty popular choices.

 

Axxis Ulta Ceramics are good. A lot less dust than OEM. initial bite isnt as firm but once they're warm they're good.

 

hawk pads ftw!

 

when it time for me to upgrde my brake pad and rotors, i went with hawk hps ceramic brake pads and brembo cross drilled rotors. so far they're holding up very well with less brake dust showing up on my volks compared to my prior pads, axxis metal matrix pads

go with hawk street pads!

 

How are duralast for non brembo?
