Brake Brands?
Its that time again. time to change brakes on the beloved SVX. I have been doing some research and Ive read that Hawk Hps ferro-carbon pads are the best out. Im also looking into putting in Drilled and Slotted rotors. Anyone have any ideas or what theyre currently using. Im looking for longevity and just a lil more bite for our heavy cars. Any input appreciated!!

Re: Brake Brands?
hi i only use OEM ,I work at a dealer and people put these hi tech after market pads on then complain of a long braking time or hard pedal ,ceramic pads need 600 deg to start working so no cold stopping power ,as for rotors cross drilling and slots help with weight and releasing the gases pads create

I like the performance of Akebono, and they don't dust worth talkin' 'bout. The Axxis pads I have now shed dust like nobody's business.

Re: Brake Brands?
Im in the same boat, lets hear some brands/part numbers and maybe prices for pads and rotors.
Also, what does everyone think of these ebay rotors? |

Re: Brake Brands?
I use PBR pads with Brembo rotors with great success. My rims are dark so not sure of the amount of dusting though!
