Any thoughts on new brake pads and rotors? I think the present BBP is a very good set-up for the street. No complaints, to be honest, but are there any other pad/rotor choices that will show a vast improvement? Pad-wise, I've been considering Hawk HPS(front and rear), Porterfield R4-S(front and rear), and Ferodo DS2500(front, only) so far.

Going with OEM pads for BBP are $200+ for the front set, alone! Does anyone know who the Original Equipment Manufacturer for the front pads are? Can anyone verify if they are Ferodo-sourced?

 

Tps rotors and Hawk HPS rotors are what I will be going with.

 

I already purchased the Hawk HPS front & rear pads, but I was looking for some input on their performance compared to the stock set. I started noticing a mixed bag of costumer reviews on their initial bite and optimal temp. range performance. That's when I began checking out other possible offerings.

Still trying to get confirmation about the BBP front pads... I thought it was mentioned that they were Ferodo DS2500's. If true, then it makes sense why the stock front pads seem to catalog-cost over $200!

Rotors... I went with the stockers. Fronts were $166/ea. Rears were $66/ea. Maybe in the near future I'll look at the TPS slotted rotors, or go all out and get DBA 5000 fronts & 4000 rears.

 

I believe hawk offers rotors now too.

 

They do, but it doesn't look like they have rotors for our particular fitment.

 

I switched out my Brembo Pads for CarboTech Pads. These CarboTech Pads have extreme stopping power and no dust to boot.

 

Look up my review on the Stillen Sport rotors and Hawk HPS. Good street setup.

 

What is the specific CarboTech compound you are commenting about?

 

I'll check out the review... Thanks!
