new pads

modifiy · Sep 24, 2009, 03:39 PM

My rear pads are finally in need of replacing. I'm not quite sure what to get. I've read a few different posts to see what people were using. I see a lot of people using hawk or EBC. Are they worth it over stock for a daily driver who isn't taking it to the track? I still like to take the car out and drive around and I wouldn't mind better life and performance over stock, but the price seems high for those and I'm not sure what or if there is a big benifit for what I do. Has anyone tried the Posi Quiet on r1conecpts site?

What are your pads on front ? Because if you are using OEM pads on front, don't use high perf like EBC on back...

right now they are just stock in the front. Is it best to just do the fronts with high perf when i change those out and do the backs next time? Will it make much of a difference for normal driving?

Just get regular pads on the back. Most of our braking is on front since our car is FWD. It is not recommended to upgrade for better brakes on the back first. Well, this is what I heard.
