Does anybody have any experiences with any above brake pads?

 

I have the yellow stuff and they work great.

 

I'm also running Yellowstuff. The bite is nice. They do dust quite a bit.

 

I used to have reds on my GS4 and they were a definite improvement over the stock Toyota ones, however they did put out lots of dust. Now i'm on Akebono pads but I don't really care for them, virtually no dust though...

 

I've got green only because they were out of red and yellow when I did my brakes. They put out lotsa dust. My wheels are fine texture black powder coat and the day after carwash wheels are caked brown with brake dust.

 

If you're looking for a nice pad, I would honestly look into maybe a HAWK HPS, low dust, good bite.

 

I have Hawk HPS at my rear. My front are LS400 calipers. Trying to find either red or yellow. Afraid yellow will be too dusty and red will create squeeking noise.. I think I want maximum stoping power, I will pick yellow for now.

 

Like I said I have the yellow pads, and I'm running LS400 calipers upfront as well. They are great pads, I don't think that they are any worse than OEM pads in regards to dust.

 

Had yellows on a previous race car before but changed it to Hawk HP+.. in Lexus.. just run whatever I find at the auto store

 

Any recommendations on pads that are a bit better than OEM? Don't really need high performance pads or anything. Just wanted to try something different than OEM pads.

 

I have run Green pads on another car and really didn't like them.

I have Supra calipers on my GS and when I put them on I used Stoptech street pads after driving a friends SRT8 300C with them and was extremely impressed.

After a northeast winter with them they still had amazing bite and great pedal feel but they leave a lot of pad material on the rotors when they get wet and the brake started to pulse horribly. In there defense I travel for work and my car will sit for weeks at a time. If I lived in a drier warmer climate I would run them again in a minute.

I recently put another set of rotors on the car and went with Centric Ceramic pads and while the initial bite isn't there they still have the same total stopping power but with some more pedal travel which isn't even a bad thing as it makes them much more easy to modulate. When I had the Stoptechs everyone who drove my car would jab at the brakes and we would both bounce off the dash. (Yes they are that grippy)

There are a LOT of good pads out there though so good luck in your decision.
