Default Anybody Using Brembo Blanks ( Rotors)??

Reason im asking is what pads did you use with them? I'm planning on cleaning out my brake fluid lines with new fluid and putting some new pads and rotors on my dd and maybe paint the calipers but for now I need to know what pads everybody is using with these rotors?? Dont forget to put where you got them too thanks !

You can use any pads you want on Brembo's pretty much. The question is what pad do you want to use? What do you do with your car?

Yes. They are a little better than stock. Not a huge difference, but noticeable. If you want more braking power, you can get more aggressive pads, but they'll be noisier, dustier, and have a shorter life. Also more aggressive pads can have a different operating range and need more heat to work better. People on here tend to lean towards the HPS pad as being a good compromise for a mostly street driver vehicle. That's why I bought them. Although, if you are racing (AutoX/RR), you may want a more aggressive pad. Some people on here do use them for AutoX also.

You're Welcome.


Also, be sure to follow Hawk's break-in procedure.
You'll get better performance and quieter operation.

I've got the brembo blanks with hps pads also. I would suggest getting some stainless steel brake lines also. Got the rotors from strano and the pads and lines from ws6store. rotorsonline also has the brembo's in case strano is out.
