Default RE: performance brake pads

Well, the crowd is generally more late-model and import oriented (not ricer, but mazda, mitsubishi, bmw, etc), so while I get comments, they don't exactly understand that my car has more power than any other car there aside from the modded Evo (400+hp, gah...). I'll be careful though; I can't even pretend that my car will outbrake any of the other cars there...except maybe the STS, that's a heavy freaking car, lol.

I'll link to pics when I get back, but my car isn't much to look at right now. Clear coat's flaking off=/ That's ok though, you just don't realize it has 320hp until it's too late

Wilwood BP-20's

They have a nice even increase in braking torque with temp, so if you're light on the pedal they're easy on the rotor. Only agressive when you want them to be. The make peak braking torque at about 1,000 F and are rated out to 1,200 F so losing the brakes to fade on a street car ain't gonna happen(unless it's a large truck maybe).

They make pads that fit a lot more than just their calipers actually. If you get the catalog it has the sizes of them, and you could prolly find something to work. The best pads for the street in terms of performance are the BP-20 then the BP-10s, the E pads which are harsher on the rotors, and the Q's which are a low dust quiet ceramic but without the same braking torque of the other pads. Anything other than those is pretty much a race pad and will eat your rotors up.
