SC400 Brake Pads
What Brake pads are you running? I'm going to need a brake job done soon and was trying to find the best performance pads for the 400.
Searched didn't find much info...

I was looking around and i'm guessing the "EBC REDSTUFF CERAMIC 3000 SERIES BRAKE PAD SET" is probably the best performance wise we're going to find for the Sc400. Does anyone have these on their car, any input in this thread would be greatly appreciated.

Bumping this thread to see if anyone else has some recommendations.
I just had my SC400 in for maintenance, got the front rotors cleaned and machined with new Toyota pads. The rears will need replacing in the spring. When it comes time, I would like to replace all 4 pads with something more aggressive, while sticking with OEM rotors.
So far, I'm looking at the Porterfeilds...

Finally got the Porterfield R4-S's installed. They're exactly what I was looking for, they grab much better then the Toyota pads. A really noticeable difference when braking hard, but at the same time there have been no squeaks and the dust isn't bad either. If you don't plan on upgrading to a BBK, then definitely check these out
