What do you plan to do with the car? If you plan on racing it, definitely UPGRADE to something else.


What are you're goals, if any ?

Search for a set of Hawk HPS pads. Front and rear you should be able to them for around 150-200 depending on where you get them from. They are much better than stock and less brake dust.

"Hawk HPS pads"

Stock pads are way to much $ for what you get.

If all you're going to do is drag, pick up a cheap set of Hawk HPS pads and your good to go. It'll match your needs perfectly, you dont need that oem crap. All you do is drag race, you can use anything cheap man.

Just make sure your car stops at the end of the run

Here are the best prices that I've found for pads:

OEM
$200/fronts & $200/rears = $400/set w/o shipping
https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=231811

Ferodo DS2500
$275/set - combo price shipped
https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=260509
Side note on Ferodos: Be sure you re-use the fabric-like shims that are glued onto the backs of your old OEM pads.

Hawk HPS
$115/fronts & $71/rears = $186/set
https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=228071
PM vendor for the special EvoM price

You can't go wrong with any one of these. Good luck.
