hey guys, in need of new pads and rotors. just looking to see what everyone is running. ihave an 2001 es galant, so just looking for the front. Im looking into ebc pads and idk about the rotors? Idk if i want slotted or drilled or oem replacement? so what you think guys?
Try Hawk HPS pads....I threw those on my car.....ZERO dust, and much improved stopping over OEM...I'm running drilled Brembo rotors
i am running riconcepts drilled and slotted rotors with ceramic pads, when cold the cermic pads take some heating up per-se. but once you use them a few times they brake wonderfully, it stops so much better than stock
idk about all that...i had them they squeel to no end...and dust alot but i'll agree they do stop better...i've seen my same feedback on several boardsQuote:

...Great stopping power over OEM and better looking too ;]
I've got a set of Powerslot rotors and ceramic pads of the from of my Galant, and it stops excellent. Can't say I'm a fan of the Hawk HPS pads. I run them front and rear on my DSM with Brembo rotors, and even bedded in correctly, I've never been satisfied with the way the car stops.
For real? Me and another both have HPS and no dust?Quote:

R1 rotors Love em to death :)
i have the hawk pads with the powerslot rotors. the hawk pads are awesome, once they are warmed up. sure, they dust a little bit, and they make some noise but thats a small price to pay for performance.
r1concepts premium rotors and Akebono pads, great performance, no dust and lasts for at least 50K miles.
r1concepts slotted rotors, ceramic pads for the winter. Going to upgrade for early summer 2011.
Evo 9 Brembos calipers
R1concept power slotted rotors
Hawk HPS pads "ferro carbon, metallic"
thanks guys for the feedback, still debating but the r1 rotors look good. still looking into pads.
Brembo rotors and EBC green stuff pads. Squeel like hell when cold or wet............lol
When I was close to stock, I had brembo, non-slotted rotors and Axis (PBR) ultimate ceramic pads. Awesome stopping power, almost never squeals, but they dust ridiculously. If you like stopping and dont care about dust, go for these.
Brembo slotted with Akebono pads....LOVE EM! very reasonable as well
guys what do you think about these pads and rotors:
