brake pads

[R33-JET]

just got a set of new apexi slotted/crossed drilled brake rotors for front and back

wanted to know wat are the best brake pads to go with them

dont wanna pads that are going to eat into my rotors

if i go green ebc stuff on front

wat would i use on back

[GiJOr33]

may as well go green stuff all round.

how much did the rotors set you back (if you don't mind me asking). I wouldn't mind upgrading my brakes. Brake Fade is a scary thing when a parked car is approaching!

[R33-JET]

around 1k for the rotors

but one problem

ebc green stuff for r33 gtst only made for front brakes

wat pads for back?

[GiJOr33]

sh1t really? i thought you'd be looking at $3k...

are you using standard calipers?

got any pics of them?

not sure about what to use on the back. You could look at some apexi brake pads i think JMS have them for $340 (and a set for the front for $330)

anyone

wat combinations of pads are u's using

[SLY33]

I just wore out some big dollar pads over 2000 kms

After just buying FMIC, 044 pump, LT12, and extreme clutch, i got bugger all cash left.

I didnt realise all these decent pads were hundreds of dollars a set (front only!) So im going a set of Bendix Metal Kngs all round. 70bucks for the fronts, WOOHOO!! bargain. haha

Ill let you konw how they compare to the big dollar pads. Should be interesting.

I've used Bendix Metal Kings... not bad. Although i think they are for towing (pulling up big loads)... and your brakes will squeak... one thing that pissed me right off!

i have EBC green stuff on the front and EBC black stuff on the back, however the back are insignificent just put anything on there as long as its the right fit. The bendix number fo the front is 1149 they are the same as landcruiser and you can get pads for as little as $40 but there sh_t. I had endless or something similar on the front before, lasted 5thou k dust everywhere all the time and where out of temp range after 10 or so spirited corners!@!
