hey all!

my mechnic said i need new rear brake pads.

would i need to change the front pads too?

im looking at endless and project mu pads, they go around 150.

do you guys think its OVERKILL for daily driving? and will it eat into the rotors?

would you guys have any suggestions on what pads are good?

THANK YOU!

Endless / Project MU would be great, but make sure you upgrade the rotors as well.

Or you will end up chewing through your rotors.

You could question a set of DBA 4000 Series Rotors with your mechanic first as they look like a decent upgrade just for street use.

well yea, i guesss i would of have to upgrade the rotors as well... =|

well atm not looking at upgrading them....

so i guesssing any standard pads from like auto-one or something would be good enough right?

what about this stuff http://justjap.com/store/product.php?productid=18659&cat=286&page=1 ??

Thank you !

Consider QFM A1RMs, they are a good bang for buck pad that you can use daily right up to moderate track work :)

Depending of the thickness of your existing rotors you MAY be able to get away with just machining them, but rotors aren't that expensive anyway Click here for example pricing

Personally, I love my Project Mu HC+s... but they are dusty, noisy, pricey, not fantastic cold and eat rotors :laugh:

If you're not doing any track work I think you'll be better off with QFM HPX.

From everything I've heard A1RMs chew rotors quite a bit which is fine if you need great braking for track but probably not needed for street.

Call the guy at GLSRallysport (forum trader) & see what he suggests...

HPXs are cheap too at $80 per set

That should do you fine just for daily / street.

But for a peace of mind, I just went OEM Nissan pads and from memory they were about $120.

    • Started sifting thru my brakes to decide which ones I will run on Clem   Made me think I should just put them all on Silver...for when brake fade just isn't an option   Should be able to bump rotor up from 343x32 to 348x36 off Supra. Not sure if the Supra annulus is right for the Alcons or APs but trying g to find a used Supra\M4 rotor to test fit The Alcons seem to gain 1-2mm clearance which all helps  
    • So car is getting a few mods to the cage and some jacking points welded in Meantime Ol Silver gets a new gearbox and shiny clutch.  Old Box is being set aside for Clem  
    • Probably speedometer itself if the odometer is ticking. If the needle is stuck from a bit of grease or something that can cause it to stay at 0. Or a cracked solder joint in the speedometer can do it too.
    • Thanks Fella’s   to take this off topic and to elaborate a bit more. I have an rb25/30 going into a r32 GTST.. expected to make around 600-700hp. Would you?   A) R34 GTT box   B) CD00#?  I’ve seen a few posts about the CD swap and sounds fairly involved with making it fit etc but if it’s worth the work then I’ll go that way
    • Lower at the hubs. Funny I forgot to mention that part. Do this pull here I turned the camera off too soon but the graph shows a drop at the top and that was because the pipe from the turbo blew off. The tuner said we could’ve made possibly another 15 whp. He also added if I switched to ethanol we could up the boost some more as well. I was comfortable capping it at the most of 20 pounds. Turns out the turbo pipe just needed a new worm clamp. Got home replaced that then did a third gear pull from 3k to 7200 rpm and the power was great to the top. I just got an ecu mounting bracket from IEE that I need to try and get everything to fit well. It’s a PITA to get the harness and ecu fit properly behind that kick plate
