Brake Pads For R33gtst

[dd4321]

As my brake pads have worn out, it's now time to get a new set. I've done a search on the forum and could not exactly find what I am looking for. I don't need those that will stick your nose to the windscreen once you slam the brake as I am quite happy with the stock Nissan ones. However, if I can get a better ones would be great, as long as the price is OK... prefer not to spend over $130 a pair.

I heard that Bendix Ultimate are pretty decent and would probably meet my criteria, but I heard that they are very dusty. How much better is the Ultimate compared to the Advance (basic ones)? I also heard Hawk and RB (Racing Brake) are pretty decent brands, but don't know where I can get them from.

Your recommendations are much appreciated! Would be good if you could include the price and place where I can get them from in Sydney

Cheers,

DD

Bendix Ultimates are ok for street but I'd go with Ferodo DS2500's

You can get the Ferodo's from V Sport.

The Bendix Part numbers (which most other companies can cross reference with) for the pads are: DB1170 for the front and DB1220 for the rear.

What's the deal with Ferodo brake pads? Heard a good wrap about the DS2500 series, but went to the website (http://www.ferodomotorsports.com/main.htm) and they only have the excel, formula, premier, GP2 and 4WD series.... Does this DS2500 series actually exist?

Also, is it OK to run different set of brake pads / rotors on front and rear? Thinking of getting slotted rotors with decent brake pads for the front, but leave the rear as is (stock)... is this a reasonable approach or just plain dangerous?

Thanks

I've done that mate, have Slotted rotors on the front and stockies on the rear as fronts needed replacing anyway. Works a treat, i asked the same question before i did it and everyone said it was fine to do.
