Looking to upgrade my front brakes (need some new pads so I'm using that as an excuse to get a nice setup).

Just shout out what you have and how you like it.

I've heard good things about hawk pads.

well since i make brake pads for a living and i know the chemicals and mix compounds, what ever set up you use get a ceramic imi (internally molded insulator) pad the reason i say this is because the mix itself is far denser than some of the semi met pads and it has a higher press time and pressure at a higher temp range. Just my opinion

thanks for the imput, very helpful

you guys like any rotars/caliper setups in particular?

Unless you're track racing your car, honestly, you probably don't need an upgrade over stock, unless you're swapped or boosted in which case, gsr discs / rotors would suffice.

Most ppl don't wanna hear this because it's not a permanent upgrade to your car, but the biggest improvement in braking you would see would probably come from tires.

I have a 12.5:1 d16 that rapes b series...does that count?

doubt it but i would do rotors too if you want better breaking

I have Powerslot front and rear rotors with Hawk Street Performance pads on my EF hatchback and I have Powerslot rotors and Hawk street performance pads on the Odyssey van. Love this setup. Both had an improved upgrade in braking and no noise at all. Love this setup. Do not go cheap with the pads and rotors just to save a few bucks. I also have Russel Stainless steel lines with the Amsoil Dot3 high temp brake fluid. Car stops awesome.

PS. I could always hook you up with a good price on a Ksport big brake kit as well But it will cost....

I'm running some crap Apex pads now that have glazed on me more than once :thumbdown:

Going to upgrade to some Hawk HPS pads after my rear disc swap.

Nope.

But I use Axxis/PBR Ultimate Pads. They are ceramic. I daily drive on them, auto cross and do HPDE/Track Events and they are a great overall pad. Plus the price of them is very easy on the wallet. Also, Hawk HPS or HP+ are great pads too, but cost a little more. I would just use the Axxis/PBR ultimates. I buy mine online, but you can also get them from Napa.

As for brake rotors, just buy Auto Zone Duralast. They come with a 2 year warranty and you can take them back if anything happens. Again I also use these on my car and they perfect.

Also a set of stainless lines and some good fluid like Motul makes a bug difference. If you really wanna upgrade your calipers then wilwood is about the best for the money.

I have a "virgin" b series...want to try??


i use napa blanks with napa ceramic pads (are made by hawk)

 

[Guest]

thanks guys

some really helpful stuff in here, appreciate it. :thumbup:

 

[sigurd]

I like EBC stuff. Ferodo is also nice but cost more.

 

[spoolie]

but seriously...the honda mastercylinder brace works better than all the shit listed above for improved braking and petal feel...not fucking tires.
after the brace, then 2nd would be ss brake lines all around....all of that before tires and pads.

the one for my teg...

Yeah the Ferodo stuff is what i make along with Duralast, Thermo quiet and some brembo and hawk pads as well all these brakes use the same materials beleive it or not and are produced in the same fashion
