Hey man, do you still run the Brembo blanks? If so, what pads do you use, and do you have problems with brake dust?

Yes, I'm running the Brembo "replacement rotors". Currently I'm using EBC Greenstuff pads but I don't like them. They don't show the performance of the Hawk HPS I had before. I didn't have any problems with dust on normal street driving but you HAVE to clean your wheels after each track visit (I didn't do that and had problems getting off the aggresive brake dust).

After the EBCs I'll try the Hawk HP+.

Just a little more input regarding the GreenStuff Pads, the only thing I like about them is the low brake dust factor. But I don't like trying to stop with them after a couple of high speed brakes, I personally find they get soft. It may just be my brake lines but it makes me a little nervous.

I'm looking for maximum stopping power with minimal dust- all for an affordable price. Hopefully that is doable! :)

Jack your kidding right , in the realm of brake pads you can't have your cake and eatit. I know u know that . I am just being funny, just in case some board members might not.

I'll reiterate on Ebc pads they make pretty decent motorcylce and cart pads , but donot have a clue when it comes to pads for production cars used in hotlapping events.
Take care everyone, and be safe

Wishful thinking I guess Roy! :( Did you put those coilovers on yet? What's up with the Bilstein/H&R combo? :twisted:
