Brake Pad Replacement Recommendations?

[revolution]

Hi all,

My car only has 1500km's so far but I am hating the OEM pads because it generates crazy amount of dust. I don't plan on tracking the car, just street driving with the occasional spirited drive. I found this thread and am looking into the stop tech's. Anyone have them on their F? Thanks.

im looking to get my rotors and pads done

at this stage im still doing my research for the best cost effective combo

i will let u know once i get anything done

but at this stage

im looking at EBC yellows for pads F+R

Be careful with EBC, last time I used these on a previous car, they chewed through my OEM rotors. They are a great product when used with their rotors. Also the biggest problem with going aftermarket or racing pads is that they squeal like a pig until they warm up.

Either way check on the US forums and see what feedback users give u. VIP have a huge range and they ship to oz.

After getting a quote of $865 for pads (trade price) at my local Lexus Dealer, I did some research thru a mate of mine(owns a Brake shop) and he got me a set of Hawk pads for around $350. Retail on the factory pads was $1000.

If you keen for a set of pads , that are just as good on the track as they are on the street and cuts down the dust like night and day difference, Pm me, i might even get a group buy going thru him.

only problem with VIP auto is they cost an arm and a leg to ship it out
