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?

 

AEM or EBC green stuff or red stuff.

 

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.

 

AEM pads! Theyre grey so they dont dust AT ALL like the stock ones.

 

how hard is the install? I am due for a change too

 

I got AEM cause I've heard from my frieds that they are really good. I have not installed them so I cant help there yet.

 

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.

 

 

lol

I do that at the McDonald's drive thru.

"Can I get a number supersized with a Coke!"

"What was that?"

"Can I get a number supersized with a Coke!"

"I'm sorry, can you repeat that please"


muhahahaha

 

I say get these... Brake Kit http://solar.innercite.com/comptech/product1536.html

I bet they're quiet as hell...
I was actually trying to remember what pads i got- i thought it started w/ a "b" but can't remember- sorry...

 

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.

 

AEM, athough if you go with cross drilled rotors, I would go with EBC, unless you are buing AEM cross drilled and wanna match brands

 

Opps i think STOCK is the best in this case.

 

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?

 

I just got my AEM's today I need new pads, mine are squeeking from the back. I belive the part number is 26-120 Front, 26-205 Rear.
I got that off the AEM website and those are what I bought

 

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.
