Brake pads Brembo or STOPTECH

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

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

i didn't know we had brembo brakes.

This is why I'm switching to Stoptechs up front!

As for Wilwoods - they are good but require more maintance due to the lack of a dust boot/seals on the pistons - unless they've changed that now. I had StopTech's on my TT and they were excellent. Of course i'd use Porterfield RS4 pads rather than the stock Axxis that comes with them, but I was very impressed with the fit and finish as well as overall power and modulation of the StopTechs.

My friend has them on his 91 MR2 and he said he can feel the diference from stock and that they squeak a tiny bit during light braking.

I have the Stoptech 332mm front brakes with stainless lines all around, I used Pagid Orange for the track event. They definitely performed as advertised. I had just a hair of brake fade and that is only because I was over driving the brakes. I had all the confidence in the world in those brakes.

cad plated brembo cross-drilled w/ PBR metal master pads. I'm not nice to brakes (auto-x has a tendancy to do that). But, this set up has lasted me 1.5+ plus. Why should I switch to anything else? And yes, the car is driven year round.

So what pads are you using with the Brembos? Was it $320 for four discs?

That's the standard Toe-N-Go alignment.. most "alignment" places do that, unless you go to a specialized alignment place.
