Well after 45k miles its time for new pads...believe it or not I still have the originals on there...they still have about 15% but are squeeling a bit more than I can stand. I have already done a search in the forum...but there was too much BS to sort through...and I couldnt find any part #s

I just need to know a few things...

1. Napa Ceramic part #s ? cost?
2. Hawk Part #s ? cost?
3. Any recomendations on fluid?

I dont need a high peformance pad that dusts everywhere, as long as it stops at least as good as stock then Im happy. I have a light foot when it comes to braking..and only go to the track a few times a year.

Thanks in advance to whoever replys

The Hawk pads give off an insane amount of dust.

Me likes the Napa Ceramix more than the Hawks and I have had both

 

I have the Napa Ceramix's also. Love them, very clean!

 

a friend has the Hawk pads (one in the picture) and also has slotted dimpled rotors, and from a high speed stop at night, spark's will fly from the pads. They stop good though.

 

Raybestos ceramic in front here. Wheels stay super clean.

thanks, sounds like Napa is the way to go. Anyone change their fluid? IF you did what brand?

 

I heard from my mechanic that ceramic pads will warp the rotors overtime.... anyone have more info on this?

 

Im about to need brake pads on my L and i only have 19,000 miles on her. The pads had about 15% left the other day when i got my new tires and i looked at them. I think im gonna go with the Napa pads.

 

Steeeev:

I think that only happens when you have a heavy foot or race a lot. They probably heat up quicker than those pads made for track racing, probably not a good pad if you run on the track every month...or run those twistie tracks

 

you have the number for the rears?

I did a set a couple weeks ago.

This PN should be good nationwide.

on the Napa ceramix.

Probably don't need the rears. Mine were 50% while the front were gone at 52 k miles.

A reminder to check the driver's side inside pad as it can wear faster than the rest.
