ejs Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 I am interested in this as I am going to need brakes. In the past, OEM dealer parts were recommened by someone as they said they never squeak. That was the only issue I remember being discussed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dere2000 Posted April 1, 2005 Author Share Posted April 1, 2005 That is what i figured althougth the OEM pads are $180 from the dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GliTCH Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 I heard the green stuff wears out easily.. surely there have to be some high perf. aftermarket pads that last a long time. Problem is I havent been able to find any yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bean_8044 Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 http://www.ebcbrakes.com/Automotive.html If the dealer is quoting you $180 for pads then that better include the front, rear, and e-brake pads. If not then i would never go to that dealer again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomLee Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 I recently purchased Axxis Ultimate brake pads. The pads are good. Dust is low (IMO). Expect to pay somewhere between $100 - $120 for both front and rear pads. (I think the fronts were like $55, while the rears were $45...something like that). Not sure about pad life, as I've also installed slotted rotors which shorten pad life. I've had to stomp on the brakes quickly a few times...and it has performed quite well. Also, please purchase good quality tires. People often purchase good pads, but neglect their tires. I'm currently running Yokohama ES100s and I like them a lot. Good traction on dry and wet. Low noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sircpeedy300 Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 I would definately recommend ebc's green stuff. But, if you want the best from your pads and have the money for them, rebestos (sp?) makes several different lines of pads, and work excellent. not sure on the spelling, but if you go to any parts store and ask about them, they'll know what you're talking about. Any parts store should also have catalogs from the manufacturers. But do stay away from autozones and places like them. Stick with the pop shops, they'll know everything you need to.
