Brake Pad Recommendation Non-Sport

BTW, these brakes are awesome. I'm sure the stock brakes would of failed about half way through the way I bedded them. They grab more than stock so you'll need a lighter foot on them.

Now I can go hot into turns without fear of brake fade.

Highly recommend using the brake quiet grease when installing them. I used the little pack for O'Reilly's. I just asked them for the gue you put on the back of brake pads. 1 small pack per axel. Between every shim, on the sides where it touches the calliper and on the tangs that touch the pads on that sheetmetal piece that keeps them tensioned on the 2 pins.

I'll keep you guys posted if it starts making any noise. Tons of dust though. Need to wash them and then watch them for normal daily driving.
