    refreshed the rears.

    bought brembo blanks on all four sides.
    still couldnt decide on what pads to buy.

    but the rear brakes were already screaming. shaving metal off the rotors.
    so just got autozone 'duralast' pads. theyre good so far, if they give me problems, lifetime warranty =)

    i will do the fronts next weekend.
    help me choose pads. OEM textar? PBR/axxis? hawk?
    i heard ceramics bite better, im not really sure.
    i just want it quiet and hopefully not very dusty.

    daily driven car. with occasional spirited driving..











    sooo help me choose pads for front !!
    =)

    Some people I know of use these pads




    I think they are made by Kotex. Sorry I'm not really familiar with them, Haven't had a need to use their products. They might work ok for autocross or track days.

        I don't know about anyone else but the color on the caliper reminds of a riced out Honda civic.

            i love the elitist criterias.
            anything outside his belief is 'ricer'.

            the best part is my red calipers brake !! they stop !! they're functional.
            say what you want. at the end of the day. your words don't mean shit.

            the black and white panda theme is what i'm going for.
            however i have red accents all over my car and i love the way it looks.

            goodbye.

                  how are they?
                  is your car daily driven?
                  My buddy has the Akebono's on his E36 and has used them for one season of autocross and an HPDE and they are only down halfway.

                  His car is daily driven.

                  He had Axxis Ultimates before hand, he really liked those too.
