hey all!

my mechnic said i need new rear brake pads.

would i need to change the front pads too?

im looking at endless and project mu pads, they go around 150.

do you guys think its OVERKILL for daily driving? and will it eat into the rotors?

would you guys have any suggestions on what pads are good?

THANK YOU!

Endless / Project MU would be great, but make sure you upgrade the rotors as well.

Or you will end up chewing through your rotors.

You could question a set of DBA 4000 Series Rotors with your mechanic first as they look like a decent upgrade just for street use.

Consider QFM A1RMs, they are a good bang for buck pad that you can use daily right up to moderate track work :)

Depending of the thickness of your existing rotors you MAY be able to get away with just machining them, but rotors aren't that expensive anyway Click here for example pricing

Personally, I love my Project Mu HC+s... but they are dusty, noisy, pricey, not fantastic cold and eat rotors :laugh:

If you're not doing any track work I think you'll be better off with QFM HPX.

From everything I've heard A1RMs chew rotors quite a bit which is fine if you need great braking for track but probably not needed for street.

Call the guy at GLSRallysport (forum trader) & see what he suggests...

HPXs are cheap too at $80 per set

That should do you fine just for daily / street.

But for a peace of mind, I just went OEM Nissan pads and from memory they were about $120.

      Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!

      Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure

      A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins

      Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though

      I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?
