teg swap front and rear. Brembo rotors, Axxis Ultimate pads. The ultimates are very well behaved and strong-stopping pads. They have the perfect street demeanor, but they make a bit of dust. I would reccomend them to anyone looking for a mid-high-performance pad that wont mulch rotors. Next time around I'm getting Hawk HP+ or whatever higher-friction pad I decide is best. (I demand a lot out of my brakes and don't really give a hoot about drivability compromises).

seems like most of you guys are very demanding on you brakes. Do you guys take you cars to the track some times?? or is only for street racing? :nono:
I am from montreal, all the people that i know who upgrade their brakes to higher performance pads and rotors, never take their car to the track. They just like the extra security and reliability that the upgraded pads give them when they are acting like monkeys on the road
hehehe

Civic: Korean ? pads and chinese el-cheapo rotors all the way. The car weighs 2000lbs. It makes 90whp. What else do I need?
GSX: OEM Mitsubishi pads, OEM 2-pot calipers and rotors. What else do I need? These brakes were designed to stop a 3000GT. They're huge. With a driver/passenger, that thing weighs almost a thousand pounds more than mine... so... ?
When I get my next turbo, I'm putting on the BAER Track kit w/nickel-plated 2-piece rotors, because I'll probably need it by then.
