best daily driver high performance brake pads

christian370z · 04-17-2011, 07:45 PM

There are some legal forms of street racing, such as the Spectre 341 challenge.

If you are just in for some spirited driving, the stock pads are great and stand up to some pretty intensive driving very well. If you don't track the car, it might be best to stay stock as some have experienced more frequent instances of 'ice mode' with higher friction coefficient pads as well.

OP, you could give the Nismo brake pads a shot. They're supposed to be a slight upgrade to stock but still be low dust/noise.

Not to be too nosy, but the what the hell have you been doing that would cause you to say that

I can vouch for this car stopping very well on the freeway at speed with erratic traffic stopping, on the street, in the canyons and in the rain. There is not one single time where I did not have confidence in the braking performance of this car.
