alright can someone help me out, im trying to find front and rear ceramic pads, nothing special or expensive but not total crap. thanks!

 

The very best price you're going to find on quality ceramic pads will be from our MARKETPLACE under vendor brakes. Tires and brakes are two places you don't want to buy cheap products....your life may depend on it!

Oh I understand, I don't want crap I just want a deal ya know, someone sellin pads at a low margin

 

Long time no talk man, haven't seen you since the old Chii days- still want to do a photoshoot let me know(?)

Some ceramic pads that you can find that I've run before are the Powerstop z16 pads. Decent pads for the price, I believe it's about 80 or something for fronts and rears.

 

ok cool, i check em out, ah man everythings been great, do you still talk to any of the chii guys?

 

Yeah a few.
Not much as I'm getting out of the car game a bit.

I bumped into Ocampo "Godsppd" the other month actually and we chatted for a bit.

You still have my number? We need to catch up, it's been over a year!

 

I used these Akebono ProACT Ceramic for the last 30,000 miles. They are very low dust and acceptable stopping distance (which is common characteristics of ceramic pads). I recently used them again after finding them on sales at Tirerack.

I have Hawk ceramics on my STi. I like 'em.

 

I've been happy with the quality and performance of the stock pads, (that is matched with the factory rotors). They are made for Nissan by Hitachi. I have done track days and autocross with these as well with minimal fade. I do recommend changing the brake fluid to a higher temp fluid like Motul or a similar brand. However when I upgrade my rotors I will probably try out a diff. pad for a comparison.

 

I have Akebono ProACT ceramic pads on my WRX and Hawk Ceramics on my G35. They are both similar to stock in breaking power but with much less dust. Great for daily drivers.
