for the street? most of there compounds ive seen look like 40 grit sand paper, they are awesome pads for track though... im guessing they have a street compound?

I have a friend that runs endless track only pads on the front, and some "street" on the rear, the car stop distance is amazing, i will try to find out what exact endless pads he uses :)
 
i use AEM pads and very happy with them ,also they dont leave that black dust that other do.
 
Using AEM "Fast road" pads with black diamond 20 grove disks - stop my little civ fast enough even without abs :)

Might try some endless ones next.

i've heard that putting this kind of pads on front and rear will cause braking problems, friends of mine recommend putting stock pads on the rear and aftermarket pads on the front :nice:
 
I'm getting this one for the front, and some hawk for the rear :nice:

rvm - You won't be disappointed :)

SpoonCTR - I've heard from others its fine to run them fornt and back, just depends whether you allow them to heat up first :)

the endless cc-x need to heat up first? :nerv:
 
That's the advice I got from my friend but they seem to work fine fom cold. In any case, I'd prefer to be cautious (I always wait for the car to warm up before doing any sort of high revving so gives my pads ample time as well). :)
 
is anyone using ebc? i heard there good & i'm thinking of trying them out.
any opinions would be much appreciated.
