The best brake pads for stock brakes. Not the best for the money. Needs to be able to stop cold as well though.
We all know, if you dont, my failed attempted to go bigger brakes so between that and back to stock my car is NOT stopping correctly. So its going back to turned rotor and new pads. Car gets maybe 2k a year. It would be nice to be lighter dust but if not then fine.
Lets make the stock brakes work the best they can. What do I buy? Ebc? Something else?

Re: Absolutely the best
Porterfield or Carbotech I think are the best for a 3/S.

Re: Absolutely the best
I am running power stop brake pads on my fronts, and centrics on my rears right now though, as I don't plan to do any kind of tracking at all. I have Carbotech AX6 pads to put on if I want to take it to the track though.

Re: Absolutely the best

The adapter to run gt500 brake calipers, after tons of grinding, the caliper never fit down on the rotor like it should. Im sure it would have worked....but it wasnt right.

Re: Absolutely the best
Hmmm 3sx doesn’t have them and I can’t find them on Amazon either. eBay isn’t showing for my vehicle.
What am I missing here? Do I need to actually call them up?

Re: Absolutely the best
Lets take this one step further. Which ones are best with the least amount of brake dust accumulation?
