Best brake pads??
Re: Best brake pads??
Hyper Ceramix by DiscItalia from Brakeworld. I would stack these against any other pads for stopping power and lack of brake dust! Not cheap but worth it.

Great pads, do the job well with little dust.
Re: Best brake pads??
I don't understand. I put these on my front and back and they squeal terribly. Like I am in a diesel semi coming to a stop light. It is embarrassing. Bystanders are wondering if I came in at full throttle and laid on the brakes. Its nice not to have the dust. But I wonder what I can do. Maybe they were installed wrong? Been living with this now for a couple of years. Going back to the guy who installed the brakes to see if he can figure it out. The car doesn't get that much use because I work from home and don't drive that much. 34K on it.
Re: Best brake pads??
I just have a guy do brakes for me from his home. He must have done 15 sets or so for all my/kids cars, and does a ton of vehicles, mostly brakes. I would think he would put this or some like stuff on. But I will check.
Re: Best brake pads??
Nearly four years later I reread my post, I think my auto correct was going mad and I never read what the post said.
For the record, I have Akebono pads which squealed when I got the car, very low dust though. When I installed the steel braided lines I removed the pads, greased the sliding surfaces with brake grease and applied Loctite Disc Brake Quiet Stick compound to the back of the pads. No more squealing after that.
The squeal has come back a little this year, so I guess I am going to repeat the process.

Re: Best brake pads??
Just had my brake guy work with the Akebono brakes again. Gave him a can of "Brake Quiet". In 20 miles they are squealing like a semi truck again. Just disgusting. I guess I will need to get some different brake pads. I am not sure the brake guy even wants to mess with this again. At least all heads turn and people jump out of the way when I come in for a stop, lol.

Centric posi-quiet ceramics, inexpensive and mine are great at stopping. Big plus, no brake dust! Been on my car almost from original car purchase. Good luck!
