I have gone through my 3rd set of rotors usin these ceramix! My third set of rotors bein powerslots. I'm about to get 2 new ones, any suggestion on what pads to use for daily street use? Somethin that doesnt make alot of brake dust, or as little as possible. Hard to keep my Boyd Timeless 2's clean as it is! Thanx alot in advance. Jeff

 

EBC 7000 Series Brake Pads...

 

anyone ever hear of greenstuff brake pads?? a buddy of mine was talking about them but i dont know if they make them for our truck.

 

EBC Greenstuff is available for my Brembo's ... don't know about
the stockers. I tried it and didn't like the performance. And the
pads spalled and disintigrated much faster than the Hawk's.

I'd question whether you want clean, or stopping power.
Ceramics do not allow any heat to escape via the pads.
That's why they are so agressive on the rotors. I have seen
rotors craked by Ceramics after one session on track. Leave
ceramics to passenger cars.

 

Yeah, tell me about it.

 

PFC Carbon Metallics all around for me.

 

Thanx B-Man! Do they make alot of dust, and how is the stopping power?

 

Currently have EBC on front and will be going back to Hawk HPS. EBC stop great with less pedal effort, but dust wheels badly and daily and appear to be very aggressive on my new rotors.

 

For a daily driver the Motorcraft pads and some Mothers polish seems to be the solution, unless you like buying rotors.

 

Are you running the 7000 series pads ?

 

Akebono ProACT, these are ceramic pads......"true" ceramic pads that is. There are so many companies calling their pads ceramic and it gives real ceramic pads a bad name! The pads are not made out of one big chuck of spark plug insulator ceramic, it is particulate material within the friction material, it essentially replaces the metal a typical semi-metallic pads uses. Ceramics are not at all aggressive to the rotors; they brake with an adhesive approach, where as metallic a friction or grinding if you will. Metallic type pads create so much dust because much of it is actually the iron from your rotor sticking to the wheels and oxidizing. Also because ceramics attach the rotors less and wear them less you get less pedal pulsation, which is actually DTV (disc thickness variation) that give you pedal and vehicle pulsation.

Best of Luck!

 

I Have the Hawk HPS brakes all around and love them. No noise, great stoping power, and hardly no dust! A good all around pad.

 

I have the napa ceramix. Poor stopping power, bad dust, brake noise, brake fade and they are wearing quicker than stock. I think i might pair up some powerslot rotors and hawk pads.
