well, as all of you know i was about to get new suspension and wheels. which i already did today i lowered the car on swift springs along with getting my tires mounted on my rota svns, as i got to the shop to pick up the car after having them throw the springs on, they told me my rear stock brake pads were getting very thin. so now i have to get brake pads i guess im gonna just go ahead and get all four redone. so my question to all of you is what is a good pad for the stock brembos? for me these stock brembo pads lasted me about 2 years. not bad but when i called mitsu they told me $250 per set im like OUCH! so what aftermarket pads would you gurus here in the brake/suspension recommend for a daily driver that wont hurt my pocket but will also give me good stopping power and really the best bang for my buck. thanks for any info guys

 

Stoptech/Centric Parts Posiquiet pads.

Same stopping power as stock, quiet, dust free. Just a lot cheaper.

99 bucks shipped for all 4 corners.

and these have no problem fitting the stock brembo calipers?

 

hawks hps are pretty good, around 150 for a set, has pretty good braking power for dd, tracking is a whole different story. and it fits, i am currently running those

 

what are your needs? what kind of racing do you do or are you 100% street?

the hawk HPS is a good cheap all around pad that will be good enough for anything up to autoX

 

Fit perfectly fine.

If you are looking to just upgrade for street use and ocassional track use, the stock rotors and hawk HPS are fine, for more serious track day, I would upgrade to Performance friction PF97 race compound.
