What are you guys using for pads?
What are you guys using for pads?
Just ordered a set of Adam's rotors but I wasnt sure which pads to get. I was thinking of just getting the OEM ones as this is my DD. Open to other suggestions as well. My biggest pet peeve are squeaky brakes.
Stoptech Street pads are a nice upgrade, they require a pretty aggressive bed-in but once they're bedded they really are a good set. Mine never squeaked
I would recommend hawk Street 5.0 super low dust and just as powerful in stopping as the stop techs. I had stop tech pads for 8k miles and they would leave so much pad residue that I would get brake judder. If you are an aggressive driver or track the car the stop techs will do. Maybe because I have a 6MT and don't really use the brakes as much as an auto would.

I noticed marked improvement in pedal feel after a simple brake bleed. This was after owning the car for 3 years (bought new). The brakes bit sooner and better feel. I dont drive too aggressively with the winter tires. I expect even better results once the summer tires are back on.
Fluid that came was a medium honey color; not quite as clear as new fluid.

I have the optional NISMO R-Spec pads. No squeal. I can't really comment on if they dust more than stock, since I replaced the OE pads the first week I had the car.

I'll also look into the stop tech's.

Pretty good. They don't like the cold and I had some sqeaking at very VERY low speeds. But now that it is warming up now, they're pretty quiet. Bite hard too. Good pads for the price.
I will say, they're a bit dusty, but I wash/clean my car habitually so it doesn't bother me.

The R-Specs are for the sport brakes, not the base sliding calipers.
