Owner reviews for brake pads

but i want the brakes though! mmm.. StopTech.

The Performance Package also adds more aggressive, more fade-resistant brake pads. Hauling the car down from 60 mph ate up only 121 feet of pavement, impressive for a 2-tonner. Equally important, the big four-wheel discs didn't fade at all during our trio of simulated panic stops. ABS is standard and brake pedal feel is linear and firm.

I'm running the same stuff too. Mintex Redbox pads. Like them alot. Feels alot better when stopping.

Those Brembo brakes haul the car down from silly speeds repeatedly on the track with no sign of fade or sogginess.

brake – the PCCB’s giving huge retardation with an equivalent, solid connected feel. And on and on and on you go all the time at one with the machine.

HPS: For me, an excellent daily driver pad. My only issue with them is in rain they seem to take some time to "burn off" water, so initially, your stopping distance is increased. Once you warm up the rotors, the pads are fine. This may be exacerbated by the fact that I run the ECS 2v2 front brakes and by their very properties, they tend to run cool. As for initial bite in the cold, I can say these are quite good. I feel that they are a great compromise between preformance and low dust (I've never had a problem with these being dusty).

On my 20th, I swapped to Hawk HPS within a couple of months of having the car. Now, after 40K miles on the pads, I find that they dust considerably less than stock, stop at least as well as OEM, and work well when cold.

I've had HPS' on my car for two years and I can say quite certainly what you say is SO not true. They are def. low dust and have performed quote well for me at umerous track events and are EXCELLENT on the street.

At low speeds, ASW uses the ABS sensors and brakes the spinning wheels, which will affect the life of the front brake pads (at least, that's how I understand it).

Wilwoods suck.
