Thread: Not happy with your Brake pads?

These are also available for the Brembo's in case anyone was wondering, but the non-brembos are a limited run, great price on both btw..

Well, I haven't been following this thread, but my OEM brake pads work fine....
for street driving who needs anything more?

If you do any sort of aggressive driving, you'll see why.

But you're right, for 'normal' driving the regular pads are basically adequate

I want lighter vented rotors for brembo, and better pads

Definitely agree with that.

Define "aggressive driving"....

Do you mean "The Fast and the Furious" kinda NO2 street racing shit, or something more sane?

I definitely do not have a light foot on the gas and when I hit the brakes it stops fast....

Anyway, not trying to ruin your sales pitch, but don't really see the need for street driving, even "aggressive" street driving...

Am I overlooking something here, other than bragging rights on how bad your brakes are?

I think the coupes stop pretty fast, but if I can get something that'll stop it quicker I'm down for that.. my daughter rides in it.

What's the crap with fast n furious. I wish they never made those damn movies. Somehow it seems the people that always wanna somehow use fast and furious as a condescending example turn out being "poseur enthusiasts" go check the nissan forums and you'll see what I mean.
Dude, I don't get your confusion or how u are figuring this is some sort of sales pitch??? And no brakes have nothing to do with bragging rights... aggresive driver or not. If there's a way to improve braking? I suggest even non enthusiasts try to. It may save your life?
If the genny stops from 60-0 in 113ft, but you can get that brake time reduced to 99ft, why wouldn't you want it? In an emergency situation that would be the difference between a close call and a fatal accident. So your logic is immensely boggling. Now if better braking isn't your interest. Why even the negative comments or even bother opening up this thread?
Lastly, aggressive driving would be defined as people who drive somewhere between 90-130mph. Pretty often. Doesn't mean you are racing someone. But you are driving for the rush.
Take it how you may. Call whoever you want stupid for driving that fast but its a reality. And drivers that drive that fast get high end brake pads, steel braided brakelines and either cross-drilled or slotted rotors. This is the enthusiast/tuner level.
If that's not you? Kool. We respect that, but don't try to dis and be condescending cuz you don't have a clue why most enthusiasts would upgrade there brakes.

WOW I sense some hostility. Time to go shopping elsewhere
