hey guys...

am most probably getting Rotora slotted for all four wheels on my '99 pretty soon... i know a lot of you use EBC green stuff pads... someone has told me that they find the EBC pads a little noisier than stock - is that true? i know a lot of you don't agree going this route (and i probably won't unless i do hear back that the Green Stuff is a bit on the 'noisy' side) - but are the axxis pads quieter? i've heard they don't have as much bite (and produce more dust) - but are a bit quieter...

?

i'm not so concerned about the choice of rotors - just the pads...

thanks!

 

well im not sure about ur Q's but thats the exact same setup that i just ordered. seems to me that the EBC and rotora slotted are the best combo

 

Noisy? yes maybe for the bedding in period, but after they are quiet, and the bite is great...its definitely a greay combo.

Axxis=Shit
EBC=Hawks=Great

 

EDC's are definitely a lot better with the dusting, but from my understanding the Axxis's have a better bite. I currently have the Axxis MM and although they have awesome bite, they are extremely dusty. I do not think I will get them again in the future. So to answer you question. your set up sounds fine.

 

EBC=Hawks=Great

EBC = Hawk? or do you mean that they are both great?

 

Taking to considerations of all the posts I have read on this board, I decided to go with these setup for my brakes replacement. Nothing fancy because I do not drive that hard. I just want to get rid of the vibration and keep it quiet as it is now.

Brembo rotors (4) OE replacement from tirerack - $262 with shipping
OEM pads (4) from dealer - $140 + tax
Labor from dealer - $180 + tax


Thanks for all your posts. I learn alot from you guys.

 

EBC and Hawks are both great...


Daphan, for 140 u might want to get performance brakes from tirerack. (EBC/Hawk)

try to find it cheaper than 180 to install, a bit expensive.

 

Thanks for all of your advice/opinions so far! Will be ordering the Rotora slotted soon - so I guess I will have to figure out what to do about pads pretty soon... Thanks again!

Those using EBC -- are they quiet with your rotors? Someone told me today that theirs are still pretty noisy - but weren't sure if they were just that way cuz they were new...

 

ive had the ebc and have the axxis right now. i can tell you that the ebc's are quieter have better bite when hot and produce ALOT less dust. when time comes i will go back to the ebc with out hesitation

 

I have slotted Rotoras with Acura pads. Quiet and grippy. Dust is normal, not bad with stock TL-s wheels.
Im still loving it.
