I used Posi Quiet on the front, part number 105.07400 for a NA. So far excellent results. I am not sure about price, check around.

Freakingfast SRT6 sells these pads, PM him. He sells complete kits, but does individual parts. His thread is up today.

I have the Posi-Quiet on the front only and there is NO dust and NO noise. I gave about $40.00 for the front kit a while back so $90.00 doesn't sound bad for both. I feel sure you will be happy with the product and you will be very happy you no longer have all that "DUST" to clean off your wheels

Probably the easiest brake job you will ever do. James

Here are a few pics with some info for the front https://www.crossfireforum.org/galle...y.php?cat=2031

To give you an idea of the ease of the brake job(and keep in mind I've done brakes before on a couple different cars)...

BillF and myself got the posi-quiets as well as new rotors. We picked last weekend to work on both of our cars..

Saturday started around 1pm ended around 6pm.. we were able to get 3 of the 4 wheels of BillF's car done in that time frame.. that included changing the rotors as well.

On Sunday we started at about 12:30pm.. finished not only his car but also all 4 wheels on mine(brakes and rotors) by 4:00pm. Now keep in mind.. we had to actually take the calipers and the rotors off.. so all and all not too shabby.

The front's are nice if you aren't taking the rotors off.. you can simply slip out the middle part of the caliper that holds the pads and slip in new pads.. and off you go.

Also we went the route of opening the bleeder screw right there at the calipers when compressing down the piston, to make sure we wouldn't be putting any pressure back on the pump. Also I usually recommend bleeding the brakes just a little bit to make sure you get any air that slips in there during the process..you will enjoy the pedal feel much more afterwards.

 

I installed the Posi-Quiet Ceramics on my car with just 2500 miles on the clock and haven't looked back. Almost zero dust and not the slightest hint of a squeak. Still plenty of stopping power, even on track.

As others have mentioned, install was a snap.

 

I may have to look into these, although I will need front pads for the 4-pot Mercedes Brembo calipers... OEM SRT-6 for the rears.

Price is right, and with Mike's glowing review, I may have to consider them.

General speaking, you don't have to use compound with the shims installed. I didn't on my Crossfire and no trouble. James

I went ahead and sprayed the anti squeal coating on the back of all four of mine prior to install. Haven't heard a single peep out of 'em since they went in. Was it really necessary? Maybe not, but it sure didn't hurt and it only cost a few bucks for the can, so.............

 

Let us know how the pedal feel is. I have Akebonos and the pedal goes down more than I like and would have expected, they stop great and there is no leaks or anything. Some say that it is normal, but I remain skeptical.

I like the no dust side of it though, I did 1,500 miles and there was no discernible dust, some there but it was not really visible. Just a light dust was visible if you wiped your finger on the wheel.

 

That pedal feel is interesting, onehundred80. I did not experience of it with the Posi-Quiets on my Crossfire, but when I put the same pads on my daily driver it was downright scary. I did a full bleed on the brakes twice trying to correct it, to no avail. The damn car wouldn't stop, either. I had them on for a matter of days before pulling 'em off and putting a fresh set of Hawk HPS pads on that car (which are what were in need of replacement when I put the Posi-Quiets on that car).

I'm not enough a brake guru to understand why these pads are so good on one car (the Crossfire) but worthless on another (PT Cruiser Turbo) but I wonder if some bits and pieces don't play as well together as others do, possibly accounting for your situation with the Akebonos. Obviously not as bad a situation as I had with PQs on the PT, but still. The PQs on the Crossfire feel perfectly normal and stop the car beautifully (outbraking that Porsche 911 on track at California Speedway from 125mph).

 

i had the same experience with the SRT I had. You get use to them and adapt, but it wasn't something i liked.

 

I drove it from Florida for 1,500 miles with my son and I got used to the feel but I always like to know why and I have not had an explanation. The pedal goes down 2" more than normal, weird. I will replace them soon I think.
Ideas?

 

Hawk HPS is by far the best pad I've ever used. Not as clean as the Akebono pads, but MUCH cleaner than the stockers, and the braking power is quite strong for a street-rated pad. Akebono's single claim to fame is dust-free... Hawk has been a staple in the SCCA for years.
