Ideal brake pads

[thezed]

Hi guys need help,

My Z's front disc rotor is thinning (non-brembo), and i just bought a brand new dixcel rotor, and looking for an ideal front brake pads to replace them together. Any recommendations in terms of brand, price and place to get? Basically the car is only for street use, priority would be long lasting pads, pads that do not skim the disc rotor that much, less brake dust and less noise. Thx

going slightly off topic here... but still 'brake' related :)

wondering if anybody has swapped their oem brake calipers out for big brake kits. any experiences to share re compatible/incompatible sizes and brands? also wondering if any modification required with brackets.

1st of all, is the rotor that skinned the brake pad and not the other way around, the brake pad skinned the rotor. For those using slitted type of rotor, the brake pad will be worn out much faster then those using drilled type of rotor. But slitted rotor will give you better performance and longer lasting than drilled type.
2nd of all, make sure to choose the temperature range of a brake pad from 0*-500 or 0*-800*. If you had chosen those rated from 200*-500*, than you will have to warm up the brake pad before it really works as it should be. The initial number is the degree that the brake is started to works best and the 2nd numbers is the maximum degree temperature that the brake pad can handle before loosing braking performance.
3rd of all, there are too many brands to choose from, for example, Endless, Project U, Grippen, HKS, Nismo, Tommy Kaira, Brembo, and etc...For me I tested HKS, Nismo and Tommy Kaira and couldn't tell what is the difference among them...all of them perform really good as the temperature i chosen is from 0*-500*. So, it's all boiled back to personal preference of the brand....
Hope you have a better idea what brand to get now and what is the temperature range should you go for. Cheersss.......
