What brand name do you use for your rear brake pads? My big brake kit will be here soon (in matters of weeks) but Axxis won't have anything for OEM rear pad available for months! Any suggestion is welcome. Thank you.

i got my pads from stillen, something metallic i fogot

i am pretty sure everyone in that ap racing gb i did last yr got the same pads too

RAristo

From my understanding, Pagid pads are more toward racing compound. Though I would love to get some Axxis pads, they are not available for GS for another couple months. There are mad praise about EBC green stuff in CL, specially from Manaray. That is definitely on my list. My friend also got Hawk on his M3 and it was not bad neither. Not sure if they have any application for GS. Endless.... well, I don't have many resources for that brand but again, I'm sure their pads are GOOD. After talking to Stoptech tech, I decided to use EBC green stuff at rear with my new 14" brake kit at front with Axxis. I just can't wait any longer.

Raristo. Good choice wit the Axxis. They are great. I had em on my last GS. Metal masters are pretty good too. EBC are great for the rears. I had Hawk & they are very similar to the Axxis.

Paul,

Thanks for the comment. I just spoke to Stoptech and its dealer again. Apparently there was a misunderstanding when I spoke to the rep. They now have the Axxis Deluxe pads available and those will be the pads I'm going to use. It will take approximately 2 weeks to make. Hopefully I will put them on before my friend's wedding.

Hey RAristo, you getting StopTech brakes? I'm interested in them too. Are you getting the 355mm ones for the front? Any thoughts on them vs. Brembos?

heck, whoever gets brakes must post pictures for the rest of us!

RAristo

bit,

Yes, it will be the 355mm kit with slotted rotors front and rear, Axxis Ultimate pads front and Axxis Deluxe pads rear, Goodridge brake lines. I haven't really decided the color and I better figure out soon before tomorrow morning!! I never have any Brembo setup except their rotors so I couldn't provide any insight on that. But I assume the 355mm kit will provide GOOD stopping power. That's just a start.... Maybe I will upgrade the rear calipers too.

RAristo

dude, you know I will be there. I will fix my bodykit and return my car to show-room quality when attending the wedding. Right now my car is dirty.

RAristo

The kit will be assembled, tested and then shipped by mid next week. Woo hoo!
