Need your brake pad suggestions

Post by jefferson »

I would like to know what pads you guys would recommend for the stock turbo brakes. I want more power out of them than what I have. I have no idea what pads are on the car,but I am sure they are some cheapy pad. They barely even dust the wheels and just don't have much bite.

tires will help you stop more than brakes, but i would recommend subaru ones or hawk probably.

I rolled on Napa ones before and they do alright for the price

I've heard good things about EBC, as well. I'd also like to hear some more suggestions, I'm in the market for new pads.

well it's actually going to come down to whatever decent pad you can get in the shape for your car that is applicable to your driving and use.

I'm on hawk hps pads, which are nothing special but work well enough and can deal with a reasonable amount of heat.

Hawk, porterfield, ferodo, etc all make good pads. I'd just get whatever is cheap and fits your car.
