Researching New Brakes

peppelepugh · August 20, 2014, 01:04:18 PM

Ended up going with "PlaceForBrakes" got the Stage 4 set (EBC Slotted with Red Pads) for front and back for around 570. Got the official invoice today and seems that the rear pads are on backorder from the UK. 3 week wait. I also heard the same with EBCRotors if i'm not mistaken also.

I did PowerStop drilled and slotted front and rear rotors and Akebonos for the pads and I love them so far. No noise, excellent braking, no brake dust. PLUS.. they are easier to warranty if there are issues so consider that also. Good luck!

What year?

I'm considering the Powerstop "Top Cop" package, any specific details on your experience would be appreciated.

Also please update your signature line with the pertinent details of your ride.

Thanks!

Got any links to said Amazon products?

I just went to EBC website, and then found which parts went to my car, and then copied and pasted into amazon. I will try and find the links when I get out of work

AT AutoAnything from my past experience that they would knock of 10-15% off the price if you speak with a representative over the phone at the time of taking you order and verifying fitment to play it safe,PP OR NON PP.

peppelepugh · August 22, 2014, 08:34:18 AM

My car is a PP but the nonPP BRAKES are the same but for the up-graded pads! The PowerStop are a 1000s time better than the stock PP!!!

They look good on there SHOMAN04,what are the pads semimetallic or ceramic and how about the dust levels,i like the slotted and drilled combo compared to the drilled which are vulnerable to cracking??

Thats the same setup which i had on my other car,great stopping power and very quiet and very low dust on the ceramic pads,compared to the oem which get dirty after a week of washing them,good choice.
