I have basic mods on my LSJ, and daily drive it. I rarely track it and might go to the 1/4 strip here and there. I do definitely hit some pretty heavy braking quite a bit (up to 130-140 mph then brake) I noticed my stock rotors are getting warped and have heat spots all over them. Just looking to avoid that with my new brake setup. I would love to get the ZZP Big brake kit, but that just seems like overkill with my needs.

Basically looking for a little performance, quiet brakes, and a nice daily driver setup.

I want to purchase a brake upgrade for my LSJ. I want your opinion on the best pad for me. I want a QUIET pad!! Last car I had EBC Redstuff pads and took them off after a month because they squeaked to much.


Rotors: ZZP Cross Drilled & Slotted Rotors
I am upgrading to Stainless Brake Lines as well.

I see Power stop brake pads, Hawk brake pads, and Akebono break pads on ZZP website. What mates up to the zzp rotors the best??


Suggestions welcome! Thanks for the help.

 

I would go with Hawks

 

I have the Power Stop Pad for my SS/TC. I like them. I would say buy blank rotors cause you don't need drilled and slotted. Probably get some cheap Autozone rotors and some Power Stop or Hawk pads.

 

The reason your EBC reds squeaked so much is because you bought a track pad.... Metallic brake pads produce better braking, also squeak...

Dont discount EBC because you bought the wrong pad. My EBC greenstuff are what i bought when i swapped from LS to LSJ brakes. They stop well on the street for me(id like to say i drive kinda hard on the street.) and they are quiet like stock.

 

this is the performance section not which brake pads to buy you need to learn to post in the correct section
move this to the general section

 

I had hawk hps pads with ebc slotted and dimpled rotor, I like them but rotors warped.
Now using slotted R1 premium with hawk hps and I'm very happy with them. (Have to wait how long they last)
