Once you go with a certain BBK, are you locked into using THEIR specific type of pads? Or are brake pads interchangable based on the # of pots per caliper?

i.e. could I use EBC pads with StopTech Calipers or Rotora, or Project mu?

When I purchased my front StopTech BBK I had a choice between Axxis Ultimate pads or Hawk HPS pads. It really depends on how many different manufacturers make pads that will fit the calipers you are purchasing, but generally the BBK manufacturer has a standard pad or two they offer with the BBK.

You can use any brand of pad you want as long as the specific manufacturer makes a pad to fit the specific caliper. That being said if the BBK vendor doesn't offer that particular pad with the BBK you may have to get it from another source and have the BBK vendor sell you a kit without pads. Remember not every brake pad manufacturer makes pads to fit every aftermarket BBK caliper. Most BBK manufacturers have worked with at least a couple of brake pad manufacturers to have pads available for its BBK.

Useful info thanks! I was planning to do a BBK upgrade soon after getting mine so I didn't wanna hit a snag when I was deciding which kit/pad to go with.
