I was talking to a friend a couple of nights ago and he was telling me that the Project Mu pads are now available for the IS F. The compound they are using is the Type NS. If any one is interested the PN for the fronts are PSF160 and they retail for $303 (which as we all know is not what they are going to sell at).

Just another option I thought worth mentioning. I've used these before on other cars with really good results.

Cool thanks for the info. Anyone tried these yet? I wonder about the performance and more importantly... the dust!

 

Yea so discounted should be in the 2xx range?

If there is no dust then these will be the pads I switch to when I wear mine out. I've heard of brake dust before but the IS-F is RIDICULOUS!

i have project mu brakes on my 3gs and it's definitely not dusty (i have the street pads)

 

OoOoOoO. Nice! how about some rotors? 2 piece?

 

I asked about those but they don't have any for the IS F yet.

 

without rear pads and aggressive front the braking bias is all messed up. If you plan on tracking with an aggressive pad make sure the rear has BITE as well. I have gone back to my stocks due to the HP plus front only has changed the braking dynamics to much to where the car is not controllable in certain cases..

 

Even with them the bias is not quite right. I had Carbotech XP12s in front and XP10s in the rear and I had too much rear brake. I would have killed for a bias adjuster to move more to the front.

 

yup... just gonna stick with stock. the bite is not as hard but.. its balanced

 

I went to their website and could not understand a single word of what they were trying to say about their pads (website developer obviously did not have English as his/her primary language). Also, the temperature range of these pads seems extremely low.

 

This Co. has them in stock and a lot of nice and interesting stuff

Check them out!!!!

 

Excellent site! Thanks for the point-out!

 

If anyone is interested I have another set of the ceramic brake pads that were offered earlier last year from Hawk Performance, by doug greenup.

Works very well, no noise, reduces a huge amount of brake dust. Has to broken in properly though

If you look close enough.. You fill find my IS-F Intake pipe @ LEMS Japan as well..

Just to update this, I should be recieving a set of these pads by the end of the week and as soon I get them installed I'll post my impressions of them.

My car doesn't actually need pads but I'll put them on and try them in hopes that they'll retain the attributes we all like about the stock pads and lose the ones we can live without, namely the brake dust.
