I was quoted, $450 for front and back hawk HPS pads, and bleeding front & back brake lines with Motul 5.1(2 bottles). Lemme know what you guys think. Thanks.

 

Btw....do i even need to rebleed the brakes with new fluid on a 2.5 yrs old evo? I don't even track my car (3 times max)....

 

really? hawk pads?
meh, your car..

but I don't think it's a good deal. you can buy them online for under 200$ so installation and bleeding brakes at 250$? no thanks

 

What's wrong with Hawk pads?

 

Nothing wrong with HAWK. overall they make exceptionally good pads.

But the HPS is "Meh" lol

Better off going with Stop Tech Pads. They come in as a cross between the HPS and the HP+ . They arent as good as the HP+ but they have better stopping power than the HPS, they dont glaze like the HPS's do. Most importantly, they are quiet.

 

Yo T pain.....so what would be a good deal for both bleeding and installation? cause buying OEM pad alone would could 400 + front and back. I know HPS is kinda meh, but I mainly street my car...and HP+ is mad noisy....so idkk

 

evosoul =)
i need some stoptech rotors and pads...=)

let me buy some

 

Canadian Market prices for Front pads

FRONT HPS ______________$174.31 + tax in Canada
FRONT StopTECH 309's _____ $110.74 + tax

Rear HPS ______________$112.96
REAR STOPTECH 309's ____$83.04

For the money your saving, you could get it installed anywhere.

 

Yes I know, waiting on the pads and rotors to come in.

2 other Lancer ES guys are waiting for the same rotors and pads Should be in by the end of next week.

 

lol
prices are gonna depend on the shop...if the shop charges 100/hr...
but usually installation of brakes can be done in under 2 hrs easy
so I would assume under $200

 

awesome let me know when they come in so i can buy them =)

 

I'm a fan of the Stoptech Street Performance pads. They seem to be a good dual purpose (street/track) pad. I've taken them to the track and they perform fine.

 

Pippy isnt a fan. He took them to the track after being spoiled with using HP+ pads, and almost went of the track in the first few turns. So the distinction should be made. But when you sum everything up. The Stop Techs, Cost, reliable performance within its own means, its a great choice for individuals like you who occasionally hit the track, but still identify as a daily driver

STOPTECH for the WIN !

 

Ok... wait wait wait... notice I said I'm happy with them as a street pad that you can use on the track. You can't bring up a pad that is essentially a track only pad (unless you like your car sounding like a freight train stopping... or having to warm them up on cooler days so that you can actually stop)... and then say they are better than the StopTechs.

For someone who primarily drives on the street... the StopTechs are good. I'm just saying they can be used on the track too.

 

initialdrew... is NOT Pippy... lol
