Wow...the X really must be falling off in value. I was rather hoping that the non-existence of an XI would boost the value, at least for the time being. Instead, we now have threads about Napa pads and ghost riding X's. FML.

-Quote- My friend, EvoX maintenance = $$ and you will soon learn that putting cheap parts on like those NAPA pads will mean you're going to waste your money. Drop the coin and do it right the first time, there's no cheap way out.



Evo x maintenance =$$$$ for sure, especially if you have MR. But you should know that going in. There is more than enough information available to get an accurate idea about what owning an X will cost you.

My thoughts exactly. And actual good suggestions in the thread that are disregarded from people like you and I.

I've had my car for over 12 months and never heard a peep, they're totally quiet ( all stock).

I m just a bout to change pads as the existing pads are near finished.

Ok I was actually searching for a similar issue because I noticed mine are acting like a child, but had a feeling it was just the normal act from the stocks. My GSR has about 1.2K on it already and only had it for around a month. So I was surprised a bit thinking no way it could be that worn down already, so was thinking it has to be a mix of the cold and just stock being broken in. They aren't to bad, but they do sound like a bus or a truck. To add on to what others say the Stoptechs I loved for my Lancer GTS, they ARE dusty, at least from what I've seen but they bit great. This isn't a civic so dont use the store brand. Autoanything has some good prices for pads if you're still looking.

meh pads are pads, if you use the Napa pads they work like any other replacement pads. resurface your rotors every brake job should be fine and re-grease the back of the pad with a thin layer. Brakes will squeak its not the end of the world unless pad life is down your car will still stop on a dime. That rock in the pad BS don't fall for it ask them to you show you. If there is a piece missing of your pad then its not from a rock, it most likely broke off from cracking and wearing.

Does anyone know if this is true? Are the hawk hp pads metallic? I was going to order the hawk hp combo for $189 from lancershop.. good deal? Good pads? I dont track.

Actually, the squeaking comes from the front pads.. can I just replace the front pads to the hawk hps pads and leave the rear stock?

Thanks.

Are the hawk pads metallic? Would it be okay to just replace front wheels with hawk pads and leave oem in the rear? They might be best sellers but im extremely trying to get rid of these squeaking OEM pads.

How is the brake dust? I replaced my brakes a year ago and they are decent pads, but I forgot what they were and what composition, but man every week they just cover my wheels in dust, which as I can tell is pretty corrosive on the finish of the wheels, my wheels used to have a nice gloss to them, now they seem dull. also had a friend buy hp+ and they were noisy, he tried everything to quiet them and finally gave in and bought new pads after 3 months lol.. Sounded like a UPS truck pulling up everytime he stopped.

I run the Stoptech Street pads with Girodisc Titanium shims ($30) and some ceramic grease for daily duties. This combo has zero noise and much lower dust than stock. For track days I swap in some RBST43's in the front with Ferrodo 2500's in the rear.

The Hawk Brake Pads have less dust and are much more of a quiet brake pad. Check them out HERE.

Direct message me if you have any more questions.
