Alright, I am in need of brake pads once again.
First I had the OEM pads and now Ive got the EBC Greenstuff pads, but I was wondering if anyone has had good experiences with other pads. Im obviously looking for somthing that will last awhile, stop better than stock, and perferably less brake dust. I believe last time I was choosing I was picking between EBC, AEM, and metal somthing... cant remember exactly on that last one....

Anyhow, Im sure there are lots of good ones out there and I need to know soon so I dont have problems!

Thanks!

oh, also my brakes are stock except for the pads.

so how do you like the EBC Greenstuff?

um, they did stink at first, but that went away after a short while. (you could even smell them thru the box!)

I think they stop better, so it seems like they do. Its kinda hard to tell when you can not directly compare them.
Once they brought me to a stop from about 100mph in about half the distance from the stop sign warning sign. (does that make sense?) it was cool cause there was quite a bit of smoke coming out kinda like I did a burnout.

Im sure they are better than OEM, but like I said, its hard to say without doing a direct compairison

AEM \nissin brake pads are really good......doesnt sqeak even when its WET...not much dust at all either....

I never had any problems with any kind of noise, so I guess thats good(?)
but I do have lots and lots of brake dust... then again I have not washed my car in awhile

You get what you pay for though. Just get a set of AEM/nissin pads then

are those supposed to last longer than OEM? I think these EBCs wore out rather quickly

Generally you can't get both better perfomance and longer lasting anything. Decide what you want most and ask a more specific question. Stock=quiet Performance=noisy, shorter life, but better performance. The different pads are just different degrees to each of these extremes. What do you want most out of your pads?!

I've been hearing that AEM pads are good. Better than stock at least. I may be getting some soon.

bah!

the noise isnt a big deal.
I dont want them to wear out real quick since they cost more than OEM... and I do need to stop better. It dosent bother me much if they wear out a bit quicker, but I dont want like 1/2 life or somthing
