brake pads (how much?)


Recommended Posts

Do you really think he needs ebc greenstuff? just cause its a cool brand and good for racing, i doubt he will really reach the potential that those pads require, the usually reply is bendix ultimate im not sure if they are that great or that available. For around 150 bux "RG" pads will be about it, ive heard a couple of good stories about them, dunno the bad though. Simon at works auto in bently should be able to point you in the right direction, perhaps i dunno i just want to get him off his lazy ass :D

I thought I was the only one that used em for the low end cheap stuff.

You should be able to get some for under $60 but they will be just pads , nothing too flash.

BAH!

All you people pay WAY too much. I picked up Bendix Ultimate's for the Front (DBA1170, IIRC) for $85 (normally $139) and fitted them MYSELF. Come on people, it's not rocket science!

Stop paying people to do SIMPLE-ASS jobs to your cars!!!!!!!!!

F*ck me, no wonder some bodgy shops stay in operation.

i've got some Lucas Metallic pads in the supra, cost me about $50 for the fronts from Perth Brake Parts, they delivered them for free, and I fitted em myself... I'm thinking of getting some Endless from Japan via Speedworks next time I'm up for some front pads tho...

The Lucas pads do leave quite a bit of dust on the wheels, however, they stop pretty well...

They sell Bendix Ultimates etc which I don't consider low end.

Not top shelf either but good quality

yeah, i guess it's more of a you pay for what you get situation when it comes to brake pads, but not all the time as but i reckon EBC's are quite good and i dunno where you heard the bad stuff about EBC from fil? you should give them ago probably stop you just as well as endless pads for less price :)

adrian :)

ps: yes are know endless are boss pads! :)

    • See my post here If you put the Haltech in, you won't have to worry about any of that. And, in case you're worrying about my lack of credentials in doing your exact swap, I put a Neo in an R32. There has never been a stock boost solenoid near my car and the Neo's ECU has never cared. Nor should it, because it is electronically impossible for it to care.
    • That's 100% wrong. Did you wire in the boost sensor? If you did not, then that is 101% your answer. Neo ECUs do suck a bit.
    • Hello, I'm trying to make this thread basically the thread with all the answers to common questions regarding specifically the RB20 DE NEO + T engine, that comes in the R34. Answers will and only should be provided by those who have done this conversion or actually have some relevant real life experience please. Please feel free to ask questions in the comments if you have any so other members can answer. I feel like this thread is really needed, especially with more Americans buying (unknowingly going to regret it too) rb20 neo r34s. My first question being - What do you guys use for tuning? I have purchased a haltech elite 2500 Plug and play kit for the rb25det NEO because the ecu plug is the same, but I am unsure if any of the pins would need to be repined to match. Second question that I see asked very often - After this conversion, did you install the boost solenoid/ actuator? I see many people doing a + T setup on their rb20 NEOs while running stock RB25DET NEO ECUs with no tune. I am wondering how they are going about doing that and consistently abusing the car because many of these people have had these untuned setups running for a very long time. That was my original plan, but my engine cuts out at 5 psi of boost using the stock ecu with no tune and no boost solenoid/actuator.
    • interesting. ive read and heard otherwise over the past year. ive been doing this +t conversion on a rb20 neo using all oem rb25det neo parts including the ECU, and im having engine cut out issues when I hit around 5 psi of boost. Everywhere/everyone ive asked has told me its because I never wired in a boost solenoid/actuator to the ecu, so the ecu isn't getting the right signal once it hits 5 psi of boost, causing the engine to get shut off.
