3800 Another general break question on pads/ install??

[cacicgtp7]

First off, i'm going to be changing my pads on my car. I have hawk hps, but they just don't suit my driving style right now, they need to really be worked in to get hot. So i'm up for new pad suggestions? I'm right now leaning twoards raybestos PG pads, or something like that. Doesn't need to be really aggressive. Also, would anyone be able to help do the install for me and possibly a fluid flush? My pedal is kinda low so i'm thinking a flush is in order or maybe to check the lines while doing the install. Thanks guys

I have raysbestos best CERAMIC brakes and love them....shure they were a litltle extra but i have NO break squeal at all and they are pretty clean(brake dust)

Ive had them on for 23,000 miles and no problem. I would get them again any day.

There like 70-80 for the frnts i think and like 35-50 for the rears.

Raybestos Quiet Stop! Are very quiet and do not drop alot of dust. I am changing over to those when my EBC green stuff wear out!

EBC geen stuff are good IMO, barely any dust!

only thing is that they do squeak sometimes.

I still have plenty of meat left on them, but I'll probably go to the Raybestos ones too when I need new pads.....i'll be doing the LS1 caliper upgrade too.

So has anyone heard anything about the raybestos PG series pad? that's what i'm leaning too since i don't have the funds for 71 dollar front quiet stops and backs. Also i heard autozone carries some kind of ceramic that's been working for a lot of people???

 

[VHGTP]

are the Hawk HPS's any good?

 

[Royalgtp]

Raysbestos QS brake pads carry a lifetime warrenty!!!!!

Bring in the used pads in like 2 yeasrs with a reciept, and get new one for FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Definetly get the QS pads...there only a little more............spend it

 

[cacicgtp7]

how much are they at pep boys?

 

[hueygt]

So wait u use them and if u waist them...within 2 years...with ur reciept u can take them back and get new ones.....

If so I'd would waist the extra bucks...

 

[Royalgtp]

Correct, use them, returnt thenm wiht reciept, and get brand new ones for free!!~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[burtgtp1973]

i went to purchase those pads and they said it was only warrentied against manufactures defects . that was the ceramic ones ... did i misread or is that the deal with those . or different ones ? they were 56.00 at my local farm & fleet . is that reasonable for ceramic ... they were the rebestos ones .?

the reybestos quiet stop, are those ceramics?
