Two fold reason for this thread (its been awhile)

1.) Trying to generate some good discussion

2.) Will be replacing my pads soon

Whats pads do you guys use, why did you select that pad & how do they perform in different situations ie. traffic situations, highway, hills & track?

Pls keep on topic and try very hard not to whore this thread.

I use EBC Greenstuff pads

They aren't the grabbiest of brakes in traffic, definetly much better than most cars. It's in the hills after a few hard brakes is where they start to come to life, The grab is so hard you tend to get over confident with entries lol.

Highly reccomended.

i dont mean to hi jack this thread pete, sorry,

but is it reccommended to change fluid?

as ill be getting a new brake pad and rotor set up very soon.

this is a great thread!

I use Bendix Ultimates. Really nice pads, havent had any complaints. They do shed a lot of brake dust but thankfully stock gtr rims are grey anyhow so no biggie :laugh: Might try the EBC greenstuff when I upgrade the rotors....

Ferodo DS 2500 - have great bite and don't overheat easily. And they were $30 for all four corners at 95% brand new off an Ebay seller who brings in cars from Jp and has to change the pads when they get here. They are a bit brake dusty, but then so are any decent pads. Also take a couple of brake stops to warm up, but only a short time then u r good to go.

$30 and 1.5 hours of my labour = best deal ever imho.

I used Bendix pads called Street Road Track. I used them at Mallala and they were fantastic, my brake disks were what failed. I took them out when i changed my disks and put my old pads back in, so i dont really know what they are like on the street.

Same. I use Bendix Ultimates. But I wanna try Ferodo DS 2500 next time around.

BTW, yes you should flush out your system with new fluid for best results.

:sick:

ive used bendix street road track before and were great, good for hills and when i used to take the old s13 to the track but they cost abit too and worked alot better once they were warmed up.

ive got bendix ultimate in the r32 which were abit cheaper but worked really really well in traffic and didnt take any time to warm up to make them better etc but heaps of break dust and make a gay sound when they hit the wear marker.

ive also used project MU in the old s13, pretty awsome but abit to pricey for a day to day car. also worked alot better when your hammering the car around the track to warm them up.

All good posts so far guys.....anyone had any experience with Hawke or QFM pads?

Mates using Hawke before in his S4 RX7 and he raves about them!! Used them at mallala the other weekend and he rekons they were great!

I've used bendix ultimates before, they were really good pads but so make dust!!

Heard nothing but good things about ebc green and red stuff pads as well!

Most of the jap brake pads are good, cost a few clams, but eh you get what you pay for!

This will be the 1st time I'm changing pads on the GTR since I bought it so I want to make sure its the right decision, hence the thread.

Unlike my Ford & Commodore dailys where pads are $50 for front & back and rotors are avail at your local fish shop for a couple of $, the GTR pads can cost up to 10 times that amount not to mention that I've got 2 piece floating & slotted rotors on the front that I don't want to chew up prematurely.
