Good brake pads?
Can anybody recommend good quality brake pads? Good stoping power, little dust, and no noise... What do most of you guys use on your cars?

I remember awhile back on this subject that people seemed to prefer the stock pads as working better as far as noise goes.
Stopping power, I don't know.

Pretty straight forward. Remove wheel. Unbolt bottom caliper bolt (head is on the back side of the caliper). Swing the caliper up, pivoting on the top bolt. Remove old pads, replace with new.
Using a set of huge pliers, channel locks, or c clamp push the piston back to accomodate the new pads.
Pivot caliper down and reinstall bottom bolt.
Requires no bleeding or adjustment.

i think is the best in this case.
I do that at the McDonald's drive thru.
"Can I get a number supersized with a Coke!"
"What was that?"

I like ACCO. They've done very well for me. No noise. Some brake dust but much less than stock. They've lasted a while too. Stopping power is good. I don't really notice that much difference than stock, other than at highway speeds, they seem to slow you down a bit quicker. Like from 70-50 mph.

So is there a certain brake pad model for AEM or would i just search for AEM brake pads? Where can I get them and do you guys have any discounts anywhere for this forum. I'm not really a ACURA CL driver, I'm doing this for my friend. I actually own a Maxima and on our forum lots of ppl like the Porterfield R4S brake pads. Any of you guys used those on your car?

TURN YOUR ROTORS!
I like titanium bendixes, stop hard, low dust. Oh and I know it's a pain in the ass, but you really should go ahead and take the rotors off and have them turned at a shop, the pads will last twice as long.
