What is your brake setup?

[dirtyEthirtyIX]

Anyone running a big brake kit or aftermarket on their IX? If so what's your setup and how do you like it?

Stock brakes on my rallyx ix and ceramic pads and slotted rotors on my street ix. Very good braking imo.

Is anyone else not a fan of the braking feel of rwd e30s? I wonder if its to do with their brake booster.

Good Meyle pads and rotors, no ABS

I've tried all sorts of different brakes (hawk HPS, ugh). Obviously, race pads are in a different class, but I ended up going back to what worked - stock Pagid pads, ATE powerslot rotors - because everything seemed to suck compared to stock (pedal feel, initial bite, etc). I only got the ATE rotors because of how wet it often is here, otherwise solid rotors are fine. I have never liked ceramic pads.

If I do a track day (which hasn't happened since I've had kids, lol), I swap to a race pad. Racing on street pads is a waste of time and money - you'll just ruin your pads anyway, and obviously the performance isn't going to be very good so you'll have to go much slower. I never really had problems with race pads, all I really needed was better ducting.

Big brake kits (especially ones built from OEM components) are usually just much heavier without a lot of extra benefit. If i were going that route I'd go with something aftermarket (Massive), which at least is lighter and has cheaper consumables..

Zimmerman rotors. They rust proof. The bosch pads have no bite, but are very quiet. I’m concidering EBC pads cause I like the bedding material and quality. I need new rear rotors and pads. How important are the rear brakes to overall feel and effectiveness?
