looks like the vita nuovo's are discontinued. so id get either the SS-Y's or NS-97's.

i suppose if you like the low-dust feature id get the SS-M's. from my experience low-dust types do not bite as well as the regular low-end street pads and sometime prone to squeakage.

Drove the Z to work today, which happens maybe once every few months (walk to work) cause I gotta wash her for cars and coffee tomorrow. Getting looks left and right!

Would those lower level Endless pads for the street be adequate for the track as well in terms of fade resistance? I'm not hardcore or anything, been once and plan to go a few times a year maybe. Just want something that's good for the street and safe (fade resistant) on the track. I am currently running AMS carbon ceramic composite pads another member recommended. They seem fine and didn't give me problems on the track, but they do squeak. They were very affordable though which was a nice plus since I replaced sport pads that were still in great shape.

for your squeak first thing i would try is taking the pads out and applying a good coat of CRC BrakeQuiet sold off the shelf on the back of the pads. get it on real good on the shims and all. :)

as for street pads on track... it's either/or for me. i dont track my car so i dont need the excessive heat dissappation. i hope PWJDM release the front brake ducts. :p

Washed my baby. Been two weeks. My garage is a dust magnet.

I'd like to get performance pads but think that I can get free sport pads if needed on my maint. plan. :ugh2:

So does that stuff really work as well as a normal wash? It seems like it'd make tings much simpler and easier.

I'm so incredibly happy, I finally got my RE-11s installed and it made a world of difference to the car. It feels so much grippier and progressive at the limit, and the tires are much quieter than the RE050s. Also, in straight line acceleration the car hooks up much better with little to no traction loss in power shifts from 1st to 2nd. The last thing is the additional width helped close off some additional fender gap and the car looks so mean with that chunky tread!

I had the install done at Shoreline Motoring in Huntington Beach and they did a great job leaving no scratches on the wheels, bagging my old tires so I could bring them back and covering the interior to protect from them getting in and out of the car.
